Answer
The most common reason is because of appendicitis, which is an inflammation of the appendix. This can be very dangerous if it becomes inflamed because it could rupture, spilling the infected contents into your stomach cavity. If this occurs, it could cause a severe infection in your stomach cavity called peritonitis.
