3. Frequent and Painful Urination
Since the appendix is relatively close to the bladder, those who suffer from appendicitis might notice that they need to urinate more frequently. Not only are trips to the bathroom more frequent, but they may find that urination is painful.
In some cases, appendicitis can pass itself off as a bladder problem. In any case, you should see a doctor. It is likely the physician will look at the appendix to rule appendicitis out, especially if the urination is accompanied by pain. A simple scan should confirm the source of the problem.
