AppendicitisAppendicitis is a common reason for belly pain. It
happens when the appendix becomes infected and inflamed. Your
appendix is a small, finger-shaped sac that is attached to your large
intestine. Experts do not know what the appendix does in the body. Most of
the time it does not cause problems. ByHealthwise Staff
