Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day
Its likely that you are suffering from recurrent appendicits.
If the Surgeon has documented classical signs and symptoms of appendicitis during assessment for pain, its highly recommended to go for appendectomy to prevent complication of perforation.
Its better to have a planned surgery then operate on highly inflammed/perforated appendix
In case you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Wishing you happy and healthy life
Take Care
