What causes chronic appendicitis?

The causes of chronic appendicitis are varied and mainly include: 1. Poor eating habits: such as not maintaining a bland diet and frequently consuming spoiled food, which may irritate the intestinal mucosa and increase the risk of disease. 2. Low immunity: when the body's resistance is weak, it is more prone to inflammatory responses affecting the intestinal tissues. 3. Surgical factors: previous surgery involving partial resection of the small intestine may irritate the intestinal smooth muscle, leading to chronic appendicitis. 4. Nervous system stimulation: other digestive system diseases may stimulate the intestinal nervous system, causing muscle spasms in the cecum. 5. Bacterial infection: external bacteria invading the intestine may travel downward with food to the cecum, causing inflammation. 6. Secondary to other diseases: such as chronic appendicitis or colon diseases, which may trigger chronic appendicitis.
