<s>[INST] is it possible for your appendix to get inflamed every so offten? I think mine does and i went to the hospital for what i though was appendicitis and they said it might have been a minor inflammation. does this mean i might need to get my appendix removed soon? I am 16 and am 5ft 7 [/INST] Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. It is possible for appendix to get inflamed repeatedly. Since it is considered to be a vestigial organ, its removal would not cause any harm to the body. Kindly get it removed by consulting a Surgeon in this regard. Hope the information provided helps. All the best. Regards, Dr.Ashakiran.S. </s>
