Can constipation be symptoms of appendicitis?

Dr. Creighton Wright answered

Specializes in surgery

Not the usual: Pain, low grade fever, white cell WBC increase, worsening and localizing pain, right leg pain or limitation due to inflammation on psoas muscle etc are more common. With perforation abscess, obstruction can occur -not really constipation in my thinking.
