If your appendix bursts and you don't get it treated will you die?!


Question: Yes, if you don't get to the hospital quick enough, you could die. My brother had appendicitis and his appendix ruptured just before he got to the hospital. They rushed him into surgery immediately and removed his appendix. It took a lot longer than normal, because of the ruptured appendix. He survived, thankfully, but the doctor said he was very lucky that he got to the hospital when he did, because ruptured appendix can lead to peritonitis and/or acscess which can cause a major infection and lead to death. If you know someone who thinks they may have appendicitis, get them to the hospital ASAP! Hope this helped.
