 study investigators will investigate if there is a relationship between breast feeding and
 appendicitis in adults.
Acute appendicitis accounts for the commonest indication for emergency visits during daily
 surgical practice. Breast feeding is very important both mother and the child. For the
 infant, breast feeding has an important role on the maturity of immune system. In the
 literature search, there are a little studies about the relationship between the breast
 feeding and appendicitis. In the literature, some studies suggests that the breast feeding
 may possibly give protection against the development of appendicitis. But the number of the
 patients and the control groups are limited. Because of that the investigators have planned
 to make this study with a lot of number of patients.
