Specializes in General Surgery

No relationship: Stool color and quality is largely independent from the appendix. Appendicitis whether chronic or acute should be addressed surgically. Okay to talk to your doctor about ALL of your symptoms. Okay to ask for a surgery consultation. Take family with you. Be well.
