Hello. Appendix is an useless organ of our body, which should be removed when its inflamed. Otherwise it will go on repeating the same problem if appendicitis. Contact a surgeon. You should undergo operation for removal of your appendix. You can undergo laparoscopic appendectomy, which is near painless & scarless. Hope this helps.

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
Appendix is a organ which is not of any use to our body.
It wont cause anything even if removed. In cases of appendixitis, a surgery can be performed to remove the appendix but if its a stage of appendicular mass, immediate surgery is not possible.
Kindly take medicines as suggested and consult a general surgeon in person for further evaluation and management.
Best regards.
Dr. Anil kumar jain.
