A member asked:
With appendicities or chronic appendicities is it hard to pass gas or it's easier ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No change: While there is a small subset of patients that can have chronic inflammation of their appendix, it should impact the ability to pass gas. The most common treatment for this would be removal of the appendix laparoscopically by an experienced general surgeon. Hope this helps!
