Why do we have appendicitis?

If you ask this question to ten random passers-by, nine will answer, "No, it's a rudiment, and it's nothing but trouble." Is that so? After all, nature is very intelligent and creates nothing superfluous.

The caecum is the sac-shaped beginning of the colon, 6 to 12 cm long and 6 to 8 mm in diameter. The appendix of the appendix can be present in different ways: most often from the bottom, but it can be behind or directed to the side or next to the kidneys. This is why inflammation of the appendix - acute appendicitis - can cause pain in any part of the abdomen and is sometimes not easy to diagnose. In the case of acute appendicitis, the appendix must be removed, otherwise, it may burst and cause peritonitis, an inflammation of the peritoneum, which is already a life-threatening condition. So maybe the appendix should be cut out before it becomes inflamed, so to speak, for prophylaxis? In order not to endanger the development of appendicitis? At the beginning of the last century, doctors thought so. As a result, in some countries, notably the United States and Germany, removal operations have been performed on babies. But the results were unsatisfactory. It is true that these children have never developed appendicitis, but they have indigestion - they digested breast milk poorly and thus lagged behind in physical growth and mental development. In addition, they more often than their peers suffered from infectious diseases, dysbiosis. And soon this "prevention" was stopped. Today, doctors have found that the appendix is not superfluous in our body and has its functions. First, it has a large number of lymph vessels in its wall that form a single network. It is a powerful lymphatic device needed for the body's immune defenses. And it is the appendix that takes the first blow in case of inflammation of the digestive tract. Its role can be compared to that of almonds, which protect us from harmful microorganisms in the environment. That is why the appendage is sometimes called intestinal tonsils. But this is not the only useful from the suffix. Scientists have recently found that it is like a storehouse of bacteria. As you know, many beneficial "own" bacteria live in the gut; they participate in the digestive process and protect the body from "foreign" harmful microorganisms. With intestinal infections, the natural flora in the gut dies, and then the bacteria in the appendage create a new population of microorganisms. If the appendix is removed, severe dysbiosis develops after infection. Scientists are continuing to study the suffix, and other features are likely to be discovered in the future. and then the bacteria in the appendage create a new population of microorganisms.
