My appendix ruptured when I was 16yrs old and I walked around for three to four days in pain (pretty much letting my body die from poison's I lost my appetite completely lost sleep (due to nightmares) and had turned ghost white. Got up and sat down like a woman in her third trimester of pregnancy It was bad. But this was all caused by me being afraid to go to the doctor. If I would have waited another 24 hours, I would have died. They misdiagnosed my ruptured appendix for a cyst on my ovary but when the started the surgery, poisons started flowing out of the incision. That is when they found out it was the appendix. Because I waited, I went through a longer surgery then I could have if I would have came in the first sign of pain, Instead of having to stay in the hospital for 24 hours and then going home I had to stay for two weeks, was fed through an IV, had a tube that went down my nose and throat to get the poisons out of my stomach, a tube coming out of my stomach to expel the blood, an IV in each arm, a catheter and ten staples in my stomach NOT FUN. Barely made it out of that one. If it wasn't for GOD and Dr.Harms, I wouldn't be here today. That is what can happen if you wait and your appendix bursts.

When your appendix bursts it spreads the infection to your entire abdominal cavity.

Antibiotics are very limited in what they can do with a massive infection such as peritonitis. You will almost certainly die. However, my sister lived through a burst appendix so I know it can be done.

Appendicitis is an infected and inflamed appendix. If left untreated it can burst. This results in peritonitis, an infection of the entire abdomen and the organs it contains. Unless quickly treated it leads to death.
If you don't receive immediate medical attention you may die of toxic shock !!!

peritonitis is a serious complication of appendicitis, ulcers, colitis, or rupture of the gall bladder.

Severe abdominal pain, vomiting, prostration, and high fever are predominant symptoms. Treatment includes antibiotic therapy and surgery to remove the perforated appendix and damaged tissue.

When or if your appendix bursts, the waste and bacterial material that is trapped in the appendix, which is an appendage off of your intestine, will spill into your stomach. You could get very ill and possibly die if you do not get to an emergency room fast enough to clean it up.

Appendicitis is an infection of the appendix. It is where the appendix is so swollen it is dangerous to leave in the body and surgery may be necessary in order to remove the infected organ. If left untreated, the appendix can burst inside the body, releasing bacteria into the stomach cavity capable of making the body very sick and possibly causing death to the patient.

You would feel severe abdominal pain. If you have extreme abdominal pain then seek medical treatment immediately. If your appendix does burst, you may die if you don't seek medical treatment immediately. It is called appendicitis and it is fatal without medical treatment.
