Whether to cut the appendix or not:
If the appendix is not inflamed, it is best not to cut it off preventively.
If the appendix is inflamed, in most cases, the appearance is acute and surgery needs to be done immediately, otherwise there may be a risk of death.
And the pain of appendicitis and gastrointestinal spasms, it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish, so if there is unexplained stomach pain, go to the hospital as soon as possible, do not delay. As for whether it is necessary to cut it, it is best to follow the advice of a doctor (surgery is usually recommended) [4].
