The appendix is a tube-like structure organ that protrudes out from the colon attached to the large intestine which is located in the right corner of your lower stomach. It is said that initially, for the first few years after birth, the appendix plays a role in the development of the immune system, but it is not known how it functions.
However, it can cause certain health complications like appendicitis, a sudden inflammation of this appendix organ. Appendicitis can affect anyone, but children and adults between the ages of 10 and 30 years tend to be affected the most. Appendicitis is usually treated surgically by removing the appendix.
