The medical term for the appendix is, appendix.
The usual cause is the appendix getting infected.
Appendicitis is a condition in which the appendix becomes swollen, inflamed, filled with pus. Experts believe that appendicitis is caused by one of two things: a stomach infection that found its way to the appendix or an obstruction of a hard piece of stool may have got trapped in the appendix. The bacteria in the trapped stool may then have infected the appendix.

Biting your nails can lead to appendicitis because the nail fragments get caught in the appendix and then you may need surgery---this is actually true, so dont bite them anymore. -- Hey, (im the one who wrote that question) Thanks for that :) , its really gross, now i deffinatly WILL NOT bite them :P EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!! P.S. - What are "Appendicits/Appendix" ?? Appendicitis is when the appendix gets swollen. The appendix is part of your intestines and when it gets swollen it causes pain and infection. Nail pieces get stuck in the appendix and can cause this. To grow really healthy nails rub vitamin e on them every night.

A hardened appendix typically refers to a condition where the appendix becomes inflamed and swollen, often due to appendicitis. In this state, the tissue can become firm or rigid, which may be detectable through physical examination or imaging. This hardness indicates inflammation and potential infection, necessitating medical evaluation and often surgical intervention to prevent complications.
Appendicitis is the most common reason for having an appendix removed. This condition occurs when the appendix becomes infected and inflamed, leading to symptoms such as severe abdominal pain, nausea, and fever. If left untreated, an infected appendix can burst and cause serious complications.
Yes. The appendix is connected to intestines, which are part of the digestive system. Having the appendix removed (an appendectomy) might cause some outward scarring, but should not affect the body's reproductive functions at all.

Brigham Young did not do anything to rupture his appendix. Appendicitis (which causes a ruptured appendix if left untreated) can be caused by several things which happen naturally in the body, most often something you ate getting stuck and causing infection.
