A member asked:
Does a person need evaluation every time they have abdominal pain? when do you see someone? also, can appendicitis be anything other than acute?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not every time,: but depends on severity and associated symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, bleeding, fever, or shortness of breath, and their severity also. Yes, you can get recurrent or chronic appendicitis, but it is much less common than acute appendicitis.
