A member asked:
Can chronic appendicitis go away on its on and not come back - the hospital says they suspect a grumbling appendix. can i just forget about it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes , they can : Now the concept changed , the term , chronic appendicitis is no longer used ( even though after attack it gives symptoms for long time ) , if symptoms persists , and documented , will need elective ( planed ) appendectomy , you will be fine.
