What makes your appendix go bad?

Unknown: A common element for many cases of appendicitis is obstruction of the opening, through which it connects with the rest of the intestinal tract(we often find stone-like material upstream from rupture points);however, this is not a universal finding nor do we understand why these appendicoliths form. My guess is that there are many factors that contribute to it developing considering how common it is.

Another possibility.: Other people theorize that there are nests of lymphatic cells that make up your immune system. When this lymphatic tissue gets active, it may swell, and obstruct the appendix in a similar way to what dr. Rosen described.
