Is Appendix a Useful Organ?
http://www.springfieldwellnesscentre.com/appendix-operation-what-is-that/
Since it is an extension of the cecum, an organ well developed in plant-eating animals, it had necessary beneficial intestinal bacteria that helped in digestion of plant material.

Evolution has made this redundant in humans as humans cannot digest plant cellulose. So it was thought as a vestigial or useless organ.

But now new theories are emerging that suggests that the appendix has abundant normal gut flora (beneficial bacteria) that maintains the equilibrium between the good and bad bacteria. Appendix can supply useful bacteria in case of diarrhea or gut infection. So the notion that it is a useless organ is not really valid.

Complications of Abdominal Wall Hernia

Hernia correction surgery is one of the common surgeries performed these days. They happen by thousands every year throughout India.

Symptoms of Ulcer

Symptoms of Ulcer Every ailment has a moderate start and peptic ulcers are no exception to the rule. 90% of the people present themselves to the doctor only after complaining of pain. The pain could either be mild / dull or intense or a rather slowly progressing pain on the upper abdomen area. Generally a feeling of a heart burn should ring alarm bells. More clearly, if there is a burning sensation or pain somewhere in between the chest and the belly button; it can be signs of ulcer. The burning sensation or pain either lasts for few minutes or can last for few hours. This sensation of course can recur. But before ulcer can manifest fully and pain begin to show up, they do give other symptoms beforehand, probably forewarning you of what is coming. A sense of bloating (gaseous abdomen)  a sense of feeling full even after having very  small amount of meal (a condition referred as  early satiety ), a general feeling of loss of appetite, burping often and feeling nause...
