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 hormone diseases, metabolism and nutritional problems.
Remember that for the proper selection of health professional that treats appendicitis you must consider the nature, severity and symptoms you are presenting.
