Symptoms of APPENDICITIS
The disorder usually occurs with crampy pain in the mid-portion of the abdomen. The pain then shifts and becomes persistent and localized in the right lower abdomen, worsening with moving, breathing, coughing, sneezing, walking, or being touched. Other symptoms may be: nausea, vomiting, constipation, bloating, diarrhea, low fever, and abdominal swelling. Tenderness is localized in the right lower quadrant, usually 1/3 distance from the naval to the hip bone. In some cases the appendix is located somewhere else and this makes diagnosis difficult.
