ELI5: Why does the appendix have to be cut out because of appendicitis, why can't it just be cleaned, what exactly is causing the blockage?

I mean cleaned as in having whatever is causing blockage be removed and then being treated with antibiotic/anti-inflammatory, or whatever would be necessary?

I'm asking because right I have been getting appendicitis symptoms, which have been progressively getting worse the past week. I'm not too thrilled to be really cut open. So why can't something be done differently?

EDIT: I appreciate the concerns. But I cannot depend on medical advice here. I will be seeing a doctor tomorrow. Still waiting for a satisfactory explanation.

Go to the doctor right away. The appendix will grow and grow until it bursts, and you develop a severe immune response. There is not enough blood penetration to the appendix, and it is filled with so much crap that you would need to manually clean it out. That's a lot harder than just taking it out, and never having to worry about it again. 

You should be posting this from a hospital. 

Have you been diagnosed with appendicitis by a doctor or yourself?
