Your appendix is a small, fingerlike sac attached to your large intestine. It's about 2 inches long (5 centimeters) and normally has no role after you're born. But if the inside of your appendix gets infected or inflamed — known as appendicitis — it can be dangerous and sometimes deadly.
An endocrinologist is a doctor who specializes in diseases of hormones, metabolism, and nutritional problems. Treats conditions such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, growth problems, osteoporosis and hormonal imbalances. It is advisable to see an endocrinologist if you have symptoms such as unexplained fatigue, weight changes, growth problems, menstrual disorders or if you have a previous diagnosis of an endocrine disease.
Remember that for the proper selection of health professional that treats appendicitis you must consider the nature, severity and symptoms you are presenting.
