A member asked:
For what reasons do some people wait until the appendicitis is ruptured?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Some people: Have higher pain tolerances, and some appendicitis are located in abnormal places where it causes less pain. More infants and children have ruptured appendicitis because they cannot express pain. Same with elderly patients.
