Where Is Your Appendix Located on a Female

The appendix sits at the junction of the small intestine and large intestine. It’s a thin tube about four inches long. Normally, the appendix sits in the lower right abdomen.

What does the appendix pain feel like?

The most telltale symptom of appendicitis is a sudden, sharp pain that starts on the right side of your lower abdomen. It may also start near your belly button and then move lower to your right. The pain may feel like a cramp at first, and it may get worse when you cough, sneeze, or move.

How do I know if my appendix is inflamed?

  1. Pain in your lower right belly or pain near your navel that moves lower. This is usually the first sign.
  2. Loss of appetite.
  3. Nausea and vomiting soon after belly pain begins.
  4. Swollen belly.
  5. Fever of 99-102 F.
  6. Can’t pass gas.
