- What is appendicitis? Appendicitis is inflammation of the appendix, a small, potentially vestigial organ that branches off the large intestine. Inflammation is usually a result of some sort of obstruction in the lumen of the appendix, which ultimately leads to infection. Find our full video library only on Osmosis: osms.it/more.

I am two weeks post surgery. The pain came out of nowhere. I was not hungry the night before and woke up with severe pain, nausea, and vomiting. Went to the ER and after a CT scan was on the operating table within 30 minutes with a blood infection. It’s no joke how quickly this can sneak up on you. Don’t ignore the pain.
I’m 5 days post op. I didn’t have any of the typical symptoms. Only had abdominal. Went to the med stop, they thought it was a UTI or kidney stone but to see my doctor. See my doctor the next day and she sent be straight to the ER for fear of appendicitis. One day later, I had an appendectomy and was discharged later that day. I haven’t taken any pain meds post op either. Just sore and bruised up.
@@kasibyrd4247how long does it take for full recovery? I got the surgery last night and I just wanna play basketball😪
Exact same. I’m one day post opp
I’m scared right now this didn’t happen to me but what did was I had a uncomfortable spot to the right lower belly it went down to my waistband a little under and it’s a little tender but that’s it there is no symptoms and it’s been going on for 4 days but I can walk jump run stretch and everything
@@DOOMWRLD2007 you should go to the er and have it checked out just to be safe.
I had my appendix out yesterday. It feels SO MUCH BETTER now. Thanks for the great explanation.
Glad to know that you're now feeling much better! ❤️
How much does it cost you?

"Whatever the case may be.... it's pretty talented at getting inflamed and causing abdominal pain" This quote had me in stitches for some reason!
The pun is immaculate.
It was clever 💕🎶🦋😂
I have occasionally wondered what purpose the appendix serves for the human body. It's something that still baffles dozens of people in the world and in the medical community. For the most part people think that the appendix is the most useless internal organ.
STOP!!! 😂 I'm currently recovering.
@@yeetus_reetus_deeleetus Lol same I just got it yesterday and my abdomen hurts so much rn😭
THESE VIDEOS ARE WORTH THAN HOURS OF LECTURE CLASSES AND PILES OF BOOKS. WOULD DONATE FOR SURE ONCE I START EARNING. THANKS OSMOSIS. LOTS OF LOVE !
Same
One thing that happened to me was the pain mimicked ovulation pain---it started more as a back pain, which I was so used to, I ignored it. I even had a dressage lesson (riding horses) during what was an appendicitis attack, and it ruptured the next day(riding did not cause the rupture). The pain I had was like a gas pain behind my navel first, and lower back. Once it ruptured, it then moved to the lower right side and mother of god, that whole experience was the most pain I've had, and my pain threshold is very high. Upon diagnosis and surgery, the surgeon said my appendix ruptured with such force, it split in 2. Thank GOD I had a good surgeon and medical team, and I loathe antibiotics so the stuff they put me on ,while it made me so sick, it killed pretty much everything.
Darkhorse3211 you shouldn’t loathe antibiotics, before them people died of simple infection, appendicitis was essentially a death sentence if it ruptured. Love antibiotics, you’re alive because they were discovered.
Thanks for sharing and your correct on antibiotics anti means against biotic means life.
Glad to hear you're okay my brother is going to the surgery right now tonight
I absolutely love all of your videos. They are so informative and easy to understand when you’re looking for information and don’t necessarily understand all those “doctor terms”. Thank you!
Thanks for the wonderful feedback, Rebecca! Much appreciated! ❤️
Wth are you talking about miss.these are doctor terms😂 normal people ain't saying"hey, i might have paraappendiceal abcess" I'm medical student and they provide the best lectures on the internet
@@prerna_zala are u a pg student?
Had mine removed yesterday after a night of hell recovery sucks but still better than the pain felt before the surgery … unbearable and I never have stomach aches that last all night so I knew something was wrong 🙏🏼🙏🏼 pain was terrible to say the least .. wishing myself and all a speedy recovery
I have pain near the appendix when i lie down n move my legs but no other symptoms idk whats going on its not a very intense pain but it seems ro be getting worse
@@vexaria.puppetsmaybe check a doctor
@@vexaria.puppetsPlease tell me you had it checked out. I hope you're doing well
Sitting in an ER right now, just diagnosed with appendicitis, thank you for this information
We hope that you're better now, Zach! 🙏🏼
@@osmosis home from surgery, hurts like hell... Removed appendix and some intestine. This video helped me so much when the doctors and surgeons breezed in to talk, I was fully up to speed. This is the good side of what UA-cam can be.
@@hippiehillapeI can relate! I got mine yesterday
Me too twin me too
Had this when I was about 4 years old, then last year I had abdominal pain, it was an intestinal obstruction.
Had emergency surgery, doctors explained to me it was a result of having appendectomy. Crazy to think that now I'm 24 years old, and the doctors told me that it is lifetime every 20 years that it can occur.
God I hope it doesn't spark up every 20 years. I do not need a repeat 😭
Had mine a week ago. The anaesthesia was awful, but I'm feeling better now 🕺
These videos are so very helpful, and I have been using them for my patho class. I wish I had found out sooner tho 😭 you guys are amazing and thank you so much for making life much easier ❤️
After 19 years, now I know what happen to my operations. Thank god I'm alive to see this today.
My brother is currently undergoing appendectomy, this video helped me calm down... don't think I'll be able to sleep, but it is well explained and easy. Thank you very much.
How is he
@@donaldbiden636 hahahha he is super good
@@artemisa5456 lol good to know
That little worm, though!!:D this was a really funny, cute video with all the little animations. Osmosis really helps to take away the nervousness and apprehension about learning medical concepts
So glad you liked it! =)
I found this video especially amusing. I cackled (loudly) at "poop rock" and again at the pinworm's sneaky brow action. Great one, Osmosis!

Both my mom and dad has had appendicitis , where a tiny bit of food, being a part of the intestines, gets stuck and causes it to inflame and it causes severe pain and what happened with my dad was his exploded. But you have to get it surgically removed before it explodes. If it explodes they clean your insides out leaving a bigger scar.
I’m about a week post surgery. I don’t remember eating too much that day but I did have a large order of Taco Bell nacho fries lol. I then took a nap with my fiancée and then I woke up to pain in my lower right abdomen. I was cautious with my movements and that night I decided to sleep it off and to not assume the worst just yet and hope it was just constipation. Well, I woke up the next day and the pain hadn’t left, it didn’t really get worse though. But because I limited my movements I didn’t want to leave my bed the whole day and by evening time I had my fiancée take me to the ER where it was revealed that I indeed had appendicitis. So far so good after a week of surgery (laparoscopic) and am hopeful to be fully recovered here soon! Hope y’all stay healthy! (:
Got my surgery last night, hope you recover well!
Here I am after an appendicitis in an emergency room. The pain is HUGE, I dont wish it to anyone. Keep eating healthy champions!
Thanks :) although im not sure what's in my abdomen
Fantastic illustration of appendicitis. Well done.
Thank you!
Osmosis rock

Their is option "THANKS" to donate just below the video.
Now go and donate ASAP.
Thanks a lot, Very helpful video. got appendicitis few days ago and got my appendix removed yesterday 👍
Glad this video helped and we wish you a speedy recovery! 🙏🏼
I have just gotten a Laparoscopic Appendectomy. The abdominal pain leading up to my surgery was the most painful thing that I have ever experienced in my life. Thank God, It is now gone. I really dont want to experience that again.
Had appendicitis and got my appendix removed this morning, luckily I was able to go home in the evening. Definitely a painful experience😩
After removal, it will have an impact on your health.
@@严昇 can you please explain why ,will it be a be negative impact ?
@@Calamity-js You'll lose your immunity. Your stomach will be vulnerable in the future.
@@严昇 No, Stomach is way up in the upstream :D
some people believe the appendix stores bacteria which can help you recover after being sick, but you can still be completely normal without it. just might take a little longer to recover from a stomach bug :)
3:37 i like how it has made the sound "pop".Anyways thank you😄😄😄😊😊😊
Just had mine out 5 days ago. l had sudden severe abdominal pain near my belly button. I had laparoscopy and feel pretty good. Just a bit sore. l knew of your appendix but wasn't really aware of where it was or what it looked like. great illustration!
thanks, i have appendicitis, but i still have my appendix.
Really? Were you diagnosed by a doctor? I guess not.
my gf told me she just got diagnosed so i searched this up to try and calm myself down. thank you.
We hope this helped! 😊
please upload a video on peritonitis also...it would b really helpfull
This is excellent, please continue doing more of these videos!!
+unrivaled37 Thanks!
This video is amazing for understanding the condition better. Thank you for that. The only thing that should've been mentioned is the fact that symptoms might vary from a person to a person because of some reasons. Other than that, truly a great video
Get well soon Albon ,❤️
I had appendicits at 21 and mine bursted lucky to be alive. I am now 56
the little appendix that comes out at 2:01 so cute lol
I thought it came because he said "moist"
Appreciate the explanation, the research, and animations. Thank you to the entire team !
Flipping amazing.
Thanks!

I've had appendicitis when I was 9. It was not fun. It caused me to throw up, and the abdominal pain was extremely intense. Went to the hospital the next day to undergo surgery and was in the hospital for 2 weeks. This was very informative.
Wow. That was really well-explained, easy to understand and helpful. I loved all of the details, explanations, drawings, words and definitions. Thank you!
You're welcome. =)
One hell of an experience I had at the age of 12 when I felt this pain. Mine ruptured after first having a tummy ache that we thought would just go away after visiting the toilet.
The pain can kill.
Bro exactly the same thing happened to me
@saravenuto1888 glad you made it through bro 🙏🏽
@jeffstarzw şimdi kaç yaşındasınız.Yıllar içinde bir sorun yaşadınız mı
My Dad was diabetic but I believe he died from appendicitis because he cried the whole time in hospital and complained of all the symptoms 😭😭😭. The doctor said it was swollen liver but I truly believe it was appendicitis.
I Am truly sorry 🥺
Wish he mentioned more about diagnosis tools like ultrasound or MRI, CT, etc.
🧡🕯️
R.I.P🙏🏼
I am very sorry you had to go through that. I pray you are healthy and fine now.
Wow this was really helpful 👏
And I love the tiny wormy
We're glad that you find it helpful, Sandy! 🥰
it hurt like hell the first 2 days,now it's getting better. good luck if you're here cause you're getting surgery soon!
That little worm that comes in and raises its eyebrows at you oh my god I can’t 😂
Haha! Glad you liked that bit! 🤓
that pinworm got me laughing soo hard i had to pause the video. such a little touch that make this studying experiance sooo much better!!
I would also love there to be some easter eggs in every video. have you guys considered that?
Good channels thanks a lot for all members working in
but why don't mention Alvarado score for diagnosis in appendicitis?!
my sister has this right now she is in the hospital, Im praying rn for her to get better
My cousin just had appendix ideas so heartbroken I was about to die but this video actually calmed me down 😥
We hope our video was able to help, Khaula! 🙏🏼
I had my appendix removed in early July 2016. I had pain on my right side a little bit over 24 hours. It was hard for me to walked because of the pain. I didn’t eat all day because of it. I did drank some water. I didn’t know that I had a fever because it was during the summer. My was gangrene. When I was in surgery for 3 hours. After I woke up in recovery room that for a second that I didn’t know where I was. I felt liked my old self after the surgery. I was a little bit weak. Even my mood was much better. I even joked to the nurses at the hospital.
I had my appendix removed on vacation to Disney World. Now my UA-cam history is filled of appendicitis videos 😂

@@aktsukibits6184 Thanks he is good now . I hope she get well soon. My bf had a stomachache 2 months ago & went to a doctor to get his appendix checked.. he got surgery and doesn't have the appendix now; he also said that it didn't hurt too much, however he needs to recover so he remained in hospital for 2 days.
really good animation, it is also important to remark that there is also an antibiotic treatment in acute appendicitis, and shows resolution in a 70% of the cases
Hi AndrowsYLG, thanks for the comment! We're happy to review our content. Can you point us towards a credible source that supports the figure?
Excellent video!
But is there any altenative way of treating Appendicitis other than surgery?? Especially when it's in tenderness pain?
OMG, how do you make these videos? they are amazing. Good job man, and great explanations.
+KineBullanguero We're so glad that you're finding them useful. Please share them with your friends!
@@osmosis I had my appendix removed when I was nine and the pain from the appendicitis was so bad that I was screaming like I was being tortured in a horror movie. I was having copious amounts of blood work done and always had a sense of dread whenever the nurses entered my hospital room. Just recently, I learned from my mother that my appendix was so swollen and inflamed that had I waited another day to tell my grandma what was wrong with me; my appendix would have ruptured and I would be dead. Fortunately, I was hospitalized and put on an IV of antibiotics to stave off the possibility of my appendix rupturing. I understandably felt horrible after the surgery; but I eventually made a full recovery and I have been able to live my life without my appendix.
Very useful message and clear about it thank you for the video...
Ty.
I self diagnosed. Heading to ER NOW!
So what did it end up beeing?
My w dad got appendicitis. He already thought he had it, so he went to the hospital. He was correct.and had to have his appendix removed. Now he has.a shirt that says appendix free. 😂
Hi, My mother's appendix ruptured and she didn't do anything about it for 5-6 days and she had her surgery today and the doctor said it went well and they cleared all the infection, but they said they found something hard in the abdomen (stomach) / intestines. ) they say there may be an infection gathered there, do you think the infection, bacteria collection could cause such a thing or could it be a tumor? Is this normal or appendicitis due to infection?
Omg worse pain ever! Had my appendix removed yesterday and I am glad to be free of that pain @_@
Just in time!! thank u so much
a really great video !
finals start on Sunday :o
+Reem Hussain Glad we could help!
Kya crypto mei use kr skty hain in indicators ko?
I once back about 10 years ago had all these symptoms but they couldn’t find any blockage so my doctor told me it probably somehow just got inflamed since then I’ve had no issue it was just a weird event
How long is recovery after surgery? Really really worried i might have this, although its only a slight pain which comes and go's
The recovery is about a week. I was not allowed to carry any weight above 10-15 lbs for 2 weeks after my surgery, but this was not a large consequence in my case. For a few days after surgery you will struggle to walk normally and you may have pain in odd places like your shoulder. Walking is fine a few days later and isn't very painful. You may experience shoulder pains due to the gas that was pumped inside you for the surgery moving around. From your very small description, this sounds fairly similar to my symptoms, however, since it's a small description, I would consult your doctor first. If you do have appendicitis, don't worry. It was my first ever surgery and it went better than ever. If you get an older surgeon, don't be worried, it's actually good in most cases because it means they're experienced and won't be nervous or scared like younger, new surgeons. Good luck!
appendicitis has constant pain when you move, it gets worse by being CONSTANT pain when you don't move.
I had this about 13 years ago. My appendix burst and had an emergency surgery. I suspect it's all the gum and plastic I swallowed as a kid. All I recall was the pain...no word can describe it!
Excellent Video Thanks.
Our pleasure! 😊
Around twice a year, I experience intense pain in my stomach, that means I am petrified of leaving the toilet, in intense pain, dizzy from said pain, etc. It subsides after about 30 minutes. It is absolutely the kind of pain that you focus entirely on. I wonder if I have appendicitis.
People here bcus there studying? I’m here because I have sleepless nights because I’m worried about what my pain is
My dad texted me a link to this video when I had surgery in the children’s hospital
Hope it helped! 😊
I went to immediate Care cuz I thought I had a stomach bug or something but nope I had appendicitis and I had to get rushed in an ambulance from immediate Care to the hospital and I had to get surgery. It's been 2 days after my surgery and im back home now and recovering. Luckily it didn't burst and the doctors were able to get it out before it did. Im feeling better and starting to move around a lot more now :) I recommend that if you have constant pain on your right side of your stomach, get it checked out immediately!
I worked all day in pain, went home and laid on my bathroom floor for hours until I had the strength to go the hospital. My pain was level 10 unbearable.
Jesus, I can't imagine doing ANYTHING with that pain, especially working all day! I could barely lay in bed! I hope you're doing well
excellent explanation.. ang galing!.. thank you so much! it's very detailed
+kitty Snowbelle You're welcome!
I was admitted to the hospital a few days ago and at first they suspected appendicitis. But I did not have the re-bound pain, I also did not have the white blood cell response. But the CT scan clearly showed my appendix was dilated to 2 cm, double the normal size. Apparently, there was some kind of infection that was affecting not just my appendix but the colon tissue around it. They decided not to operate immediately because my appendix did not appear to have ruptured and they didn't want to operate with all the infection in the surrounding area. I spent 3 days in hospital doing IV antibiotics and now I'm at home continuing antibiotic treatment. I guess they're going to do an appendectomy later on. They said that I did not present like a typical case of appendicitis. I'm curious if any experts out there have thoughts on what other things could be going on. I of course asked my doctors this question but they didn't seem to have direct answers. They said they could rule out a tumor, but otherwise are still trying to figure it out. I'm due back for a CT scan update once I finish my home antibiotics.
how does it turned out??
Matthew Swanson i have a feeling your in great health brother , no tumors. Just probably need a colon cleansing . This is not medical advice
Did you die or what?
@@samtayar7039 This is clearly not medical advice 🤣
How did everything go?
I had an appendicitis when I was 7 and actually almost died and here I am doing research 👍
glad u survived bud!
What's the immediate solution to do as my wife is suffering from a abdomen pain which suspect it's appendicitis. Is there a remedy to reduce her pain. Please help me as in Sri Lanka it's 1.30 am. There are no doctors around. I would be always thankful to you.
We care for you and your wife, Shareen. But unfortunately we don’t provide medical advice through this channel. We’d recommend reaching out to a local health professional for any consultation and diagnosis of your condition.
How long will it take to burst? I experienced a stomach ache last night on the right side of my abdomin and it is really really painful. I honestly dont like to undergo operation bcz i dont want to have scars. Is there a way to stop the swelling and go back to normal?
Pat Nazarian 😂😂 lmao but fr is the op doing alright now?? You got it checked out right?
you can find solution on my channel
I am curious what is the furthest it gets but is still able to heal on its own? Does it get plugged and then unplugged?
I'm in pain on my lower abdomen on my right.
this tends to happen to me rarely but this has happened to me before .it was nothing in the end .
should I consult a doctor ? what may it be ?
yes, tell the doctor about what you are feeling.
I don't think you have appendicitis.
i know what it feels like and it SUCKS.
i got it a few days ago.
appendicitis is CONSTANT pain.
My son of six years is having all the symptoms now,got diagnosed of sub acute appendicitis,I’m getting so worried .he is strong though,having abdominal pains frequently,
I love the sound effects and the seductive worm
was looking for this comment 😂😂
Amazingly explained👌🏼👌🏼
THANKS FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO!
Glad we could help. Take care.
what's the difference between appendicitis in adults, children and pregnant women? aren't the symptoms and areas different? can you make a comparison video on them too?thanks
Appendicitis symptoms are same no matter the age. Depending on the location of one's appendix the location of the pain may vary. Can be a periumbilical which can migrate to the right lower abdomen. Associated with nausea and vomiting, anorexia and /or fever. It is an emergency surgical case.
I had a ruptured appendicitis, had to have open surgery which burst, leaving the wound to heal from the inside out, almost killed me!
same here. thought i had the stomach flu til i went to the ER cause the pain was so bad. Took a cat scan and lo and behold, my appendix burst and I had already had peritonitis. Open surgery and they even left the top layer of the wound open to heal. Formed an ugly scar that I later had corrected by a plastic surgeon almost 20 years later. Worst experience of my life but im grateful to be alive.
I woke up this morning to discomfort on my right side.
Later, the discomfort moved to my lower back. Hours later, discomfort moved back to my right side. Hoping its constipation, I tried to use the bathroom to see if the pain would go away. It subsided.
8 hours later, as I was leaving work, I felt an excruciating, sharp but kinda dull pain on my right side. Struggling to drive home, the pain finally subsided again. Prolly lasted about 20 minutes. Tried to sleep it off, hoping when I wake, it'll go away.
I awoke. It's midnight. I don't feel any pain. But there is a lingering effect feeling on my right side. Started googling and searching on youtube, and now I'm here. As I'm writing, the pain came back. I shifted my body weight to my right side, and it feels okay at the moment. I'm afraid. But I'm hoping... hoping... but I'm afraid.😨 (if that made any sense.)
I know I gotta have it checked out, but... I guess I'm just looking for a second opinion. I dont know 😢 or maybe I'm just stalling time. Whatever my case may be, I'm scared.
any update man im kinda in the same boat
i love the way things r explained ....keep going
really easy to understand with the illustration thanks a lot
please say the mechanism of vomiting
I have appendicitis, It hurts to move, it's really annoying.
not painful enough to cry but painful enough to not want to JUMP UP AND DOWN FOR THE 100 TIME! (i was forced to jump alot.)
so don't kill your appendix!
Thanks that’s really comforting, my mum is in hospital right now and might have appendicitis. It obviously isn’t too serious.
It is serious.
Just got out the hospital crazy sharp pains out of nowhere one night. Thought it was just a stomach ache. Went to sleep woke up in serve pain screaming got to the hospital was in surgery in about an hour. They were slow moving. It was Appendicitis
Wow. Thank you for the well explained and informative video.
I wish you added how much time does each stage usually need to develop.
I'll be thankful if you could answer my question.
Nice illustrution to review
i operated appendix 30 years back when I had unbearable pain on lower right side of abdomina. Now again I had the same after 35 years. What it could be when I have removed appendix long ago??? thanks

@@osmosis Thankfully, it's not appendicitis!!! The cat scan showed colonic wall thickening / focal colitis. My doctor put me on antibiotics. I'm still unsure of everything so I'm looking forward to explanations on Thursday. Thanks for your kind words ☺️
Favorite channel ❤
I'm in the hospital with the after experiencing the pain. but it has gone down now...is it normal?
if it goes down, it may have ruptured
Don't forget to mention the insane, death-like pain in your stomach when your appendix bursts. This shit is so strong not even oral morphine lowered the pain.
My appendix ruptured years ago.... it was so bad I could barely even walk. Felt like being stabbed over and over again but the pain just never dissipated. It was horrible.
I can relate to this because I had appendicitis when I was nine and the pain was so excruciating that I was screaming like I was being tortured in a horror movie.
