Hello! I am wondering can appendicitis flare up and go away on its own. I am asking you this because I have not operated my appendix ad I am concerned about getting appendicitis. Do not get me wrong, I do not have any symptoms of appendicitis, I am just concerned. I am thanking you in advance.

Hello! Well, I can tell you following: sometimes inflammation and infection of appendix can be controlled and healed by antibiotics. But, these cases are very rare and they do not mean appendicitis flare up and go away on its own. Generally speaking, when appendicitis flare up it is needed emergency surgery.
