There is no answer or equation for this. Each occurrence is specific to many variables. Some people have chronic appendicitis (never any rupture) and some people have only hours. It is important to understand EVERY occurrence is different and there is no answer other than this one.

∙ 13y agoAn appendix can rupture immediately, or can develop over many hours before it ruptures. Most people have warning signs and fever before the appendix ruptures, but some people have few symptoms. The main risk with a ruptured appendix is that bowel contents (i.e. same as stool) then goes into the abdominal cavity surrounding the organs and causes an intra-abdominal infection, which can kill.
