it has to do with your appendix

Appendicitis is an inflammation of the appendix, a small, finger-shaped sac that is attached to the large intestine. \n\nMost of the time, the appendix does not cause problems. Occasionally, however, it gets blocked by bacteria and becomes swollen and infected. \n\nIf the infected appendix is not removed, the infection can cause the appendix to break open or rupture. This spreads infection into the abdominal cavity, causing peritonitis. Peritonitis is a serious problem that requires emergency care.\n\nYes it can cause death if not treated

In adults, probably the thymus.\nThe Appendix is an organ, perhaps that.

I agree with coccanut it could be a sign of infection or appenditcis, you need to get it checked out immediately. When you push on it do you feel pain? \n\nInformation on the appendix:\n\nThe appendix is a small finger-like pouch that protrudes from the large intestine. Appendicitis, which is most common in people ages 5 to 30, is generally caused by an obstruction that leads to inflammation of the appendix. There are no particular risk factors for appenditicis. It is not preventable, so early detection is very important. \n .   Watch for signs of pain and/or tenderness in the navel area that moves towards the lower right of the abdomen over the course of a few hours. The pain is often described as severe and sharp and worsens with any movement.  \n  \n2.   Take your temperature - a low grade fever may be a sign of inflammation and infection, a possible sign of appendicitis.  \n3.   Watch for signs of nausea, vomiting, or loss of appetite.  \n  \n4.   Call your health care provider if you exhibit any and/or all of these signs and symptoms. If you are unable to reach your health care provider, go directly to the nearest emergency facility.  \n  \nP>S> Footnote : I'm not a doctor nor do I claim to have any knowledge, but the high bilirubin could also be gallbladder you really need to go asap to a walk in clinic or a hospital. \n\nI hope this helps

Extend your right thumb and stick it in your navel. Then lay your clenched fist down horizontally. Your appendix is about where your fist is.

The symptoms of appendicitis vary. It can be hard to diagnosis appendicitis in young children, the elderly, and women of childbearing age.\n\nTypically, the first symptom is pain around your navel. (see abdominal pain.) The pain initially may be vague, but becomes increasingly sharp and severe. You may have reduced appetite, nausea, vomiting, and a low-grade fever.\n\nAs the inflammation in the appendix increases, the pain tends to move into your right lower abdomen and focuses directly above the appendix at a place called "McBurney's point."\n\nIf the appendix ruptures, the pain may lessen briefly and you may feel better. However, once peritonitis sets in, the pain worsens and you become sicker. \n\nAbdominal pain may be worse when walking or coughing. You may prefer to lie still because sudden movement causes pain.\n\nLater symptoms include:\n\nFever \nLoss of appetite \nNausea \nVomiting \nConstipation \nDiarrhea \nChills and shaking

It does sound like a rumbling appendix.  If it's only playing up a bit there's no way a doctor can diagnose it.  Withe appendix problems the pain starts in the left then goes to the right.  So if it moves to the right get to the A&E!\n\nOther than that I'd suggest a food intolerance, probably wheat.  I'd cut out all carbs for a week and see if the pain diminishes.  I can't be bothered to deal with my wheat intolerance, so I have continual abdominal pain.  Stupid cow that I am.

It's good you're going to a doc for a check-up.\nIt would be difficult to diagnose you symptoms properly without being seen.\nBut these are symptoms for Appendicitis.\n\nTest:\n· A physical exam based upon the symptoms.\n· A urine test to rule out a urinary tract infection (UTI).\n· Ultrasound can show an inflamed appendix.\n\n· A blood count is taken to see if the white blood cell count is elevated, as is usually the case in acute appendicitis. If the doctor does suspect appendicitis, surgery will need to be performed within the next few hours. If not, the appendix can rupture and go into a condition known as peritonitis. Pus from the infected appendix spreads into the abdominal cavity, causing blood poisoning.\n\nSymptoms:\n· Generalized abdominal cramps. Pain usually begins near the navel and moves down to the lower right. The pain becomes worse when the person moves or touches the area.\n\n· Nausea or vomiting.\n· Elevated temperature.\n· Increased pulse rate.\n· Loss of appetite.\n· Constipation.\n· Abdominal swelling.\n\nIn appendicitis these symptoms tend to become more severe as time passes. Not everyone with appendicitis has all the symptoms. Never should a laxative or enema be taken if you suspect appendicitis. These medications can cause the appendix to rupture.

Its most likely a hematoma\nits part of the healing process UNLESS you are experiencing increased abdominal pain, vomiting, fever

if there is any chance of pregnancy... get yourself into a doctor it could be a tubal pregnancy.  this may not show as a positive test with a home pregnancy test.  if it's on your right side it could be your appendix...it could be gas, or a number of other possible medical conditions... bottom line is if you are having pain that is getting worse and not getting better... go to the emergency room or your family doctor as soon as possible.  if it turns out to be nothing serious, at least you know and can relax.

...no, physical activity after eating does not give you appendicitis. (Who told you that?) The actual cause is unknown because the appendix is still debated as a vestigial organ, but it's theorized that it is due to an obstruction or viral infection (which can lead to an obstruction). Blood gets cut off to the organ, bacteria begins to grow, and it becomes gangrenous.\nSome people also believe than an unhealthy diet can lead to the clotting of blood to the appendix and then from their on out the problem.

You should probably talk to your doctor about it.

It's usually a sign of an infection.  See your doc.

Do you mean appendicitis?\n\nThe causes of appendicitis are generally unknown, but the leading theory is that obstruction of the appendiceal orifice is the inciting factor. Obstruction may come from fecal matter lodged in the appendix, impaction of mucous, a small tumor (such as a carcinoid), or even a small blood clot. Populations with high fiber diets have a low incidence of appendicitis and diverticulitis leading some to conclude diet induced constipation is a contributing cause. Viral infections, which can cause ulceration of the lining, can also lead to obstruction of the appendix through proliferation of lymphatic tissue in its walls. A viral etiology is a possible explanation for seasonal variations in rates of appendicitis and clustering of cases. Regardless of the cause, obstruction of the appendix may lead to progressive appendiceal distension. This distension increases the pressure within the appendix, which in turn impairs its blood supply. Deprived of blood, the appendix loses the ability to fight infection and fecal bacteria begin to grow out of control. Although spontaneous recovery can rarely occur, with time and lack of treatment the walls of the appendix eventually become gangrenous from the infection and lack of blood flow. As bacteria begin to leak out through the dying walls, pus forms within and around the appendix (suppuration). The end result of this cascade is appendiceal rupture causing peritonitis, which may lead to septicemia and eventually death.

It's that area where doctors search for tenderness when they supect appendicitis. Here is a picture of location:\nhttp://www.eapsa.org/parents/Appendicitis.htm

hi, its good that they are keeping an eye on it. I had my appendix out 7 years ago and my appendix was leaking but I didnt know as I thought the pain was IBS. It eventually burst on the way down to theatre to remove it, luckily I didnt get peritonitis but was on an antibiotic drip and was off work for 6 weeks. Tell your friend to take painkillers but it the pain gets really bad to go hospital immediately. Always best to be on the safe side.
