A member asked:
Does constipation (showing on mri w/contrast) end up leading to possible apendix removal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Removal of appendicitis is strictly due to appendicitis or rare circumstances of masses around that area. Constipation is in the lumen of the intestine and treatment is directed to relieving it with certain other treatments. They are separate issues.
