Appendicitis or menstrual cramps, how can i tell?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Timing, severity: Appendicitis would not be a monthly recurring event like menstrual cramps. Location of pain with appendicitis can be quite variable, but tends to be progressively worse. If the pain your are experiencing is different than previous monthly cramps, see your doctor. Untreated appendicitis can make you very sick and even be fatal.
