How to prevent appendix
A doctor has provided 1 answer
?: That doesn't make sense. You don't prevent an appendix - it's an anatomical part of the body. If you mean appendicitis - the inflammation - there's no prevention - it just happens but to prevent the possible resulting infection, drink plenty of fluids and see your doctor at the first sign of illness or stomach pain, esp lower abdomen in the center or right side.
