A member asked:
Can appendicitis symptoms come and go?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually not: Because appendicitis is acute problem. But there are rare cases of recurrent appendicitis. If your symptoms are intermittent, more likely causes are other GI problems such as crohn's ileitis. Get to a doctor for a definite diagnosis.
