Causes of appendicitis:
Talking about the major causes of appendicitis, it can be said that it is primarily caused due to some blockage inside the appendix and it is this blockage that triggers pressure and impairs blood flow, thus leading to inflammation. Usually feces are responsible for such blockages. At times, bacterial or viral infections in the digestive tract also tend to become a reason for appendicitis.
