Appendicitis is caused by blocking of stool. so if you have regular bowl movements every morning. does that lower your chance of getting appendicitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Appendicitis is not: caused by blocking of stool. It is caused by an inflammation of the appendix which can be triggered by a number of issues. Regular bowel moments will not reduce your risk of appendicitis.
