Appendicitis develops in people are extremely healthy and in people who are not healthy at all. There are no preventative measures.

There are no clear triggers to getting appendicitis. It is not based on your diet, activity, medications, etc.

If you get it, your appendix has to be removed. It's just pathophysiology of that disease when it occurs.
