A: 1. You will feel the pain in the lower right quadrant of your abdominal cavity. Trust me you will know. 2. Depending on the amount of bacteria, death can occur. Usually takes a little while, it is all circumstantial. When the appendix ruptures, bacteria is released which can infect the organs surrounding it which is very, very bad to say the least. Best thing to do is to get to a hospital ASAP if you believe your appendix is acting up and especially if you feel it has ruptured. I usually say within an hour of rupture, you should be treated.

How can I tell if my appendix has ruptured??

Q: The lower left part of my stomach is hurting really bad when I put any pressure on it and it hurts worse when I go urinate, and my mom told me my appendix may have ruptured so I really need to know. Thanks.

A: I would think it could be one of three possible problems. You may have a urinary track infection. You may be constipated or you may of had a cyst rupture on your ovary. I don’t believe this has anything to do with your appendix. As long as your not running a temp, then make a doc appointment on Monday. GoodLuck!
