what causes your appendix to rupture
The cause of such a rupture is unclear, but it may relate to changes that occur in the lymphatic tissue that line the wall of the appendix.) If the inflammation and infection spread through the wall of the appendix, the appendix can rupture. After rupture, infection can spread throughout the abdomen; however, it usually is confined to a small area surrounding the appendix (forming a peri-appendiceal abscess).
The appendix will rupture if it has become so swollen from infection that it just bursts. The appendix id a small little dead end off of your colon. You can imagine what goes past there on a hourly basis and if something happens to make a wrong turn there is no way to clean it out.
