Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It is possible for appendix to get inflamed repeatedly. Since it is considered to be a vestigial organ, its removal would not cause any harm to the body.
Kindly get it removed by consulting a Surgeon in this regard.
Hope the information provided helps. All the best.
