Do I have to cut out my appendix?

Question: My lower left stomache started hurting, and my friend said I have to have sugery.He explained that it hurts because I eat and drink to much junk food and it my appendix got effected that way.I'm not overweight but I know I don't eat enough healthy food.He said I need surgery, because it's and if it pops, it will release poisen and bad chemicles into my body. What should I do?

Answers:
go to the doctor. If your friend is also your primary care physician, then of course, listen and do what he says.
If your friend is just your friend, then thank him for his concern and THEN go to the doctor.
It could be absolutely nothing, but if you are concerned enough to ask about it, and since your friend has given you a "worse case scenario" then you will feel better if you have it checked out.

As the appendix is on the right side of the body... you definatly don't have appendecitis. It's probably no big deal, maybe some digestion issues from not eating enough greens or veggies. If you have a fever, or it lasts more than a couple days, go see the doctor. but other than that, relax.
