Brief Answer:
Chances of recurrent appendicitis

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Welcome to HealthcareMagic .

Appendicits is diagnosed by symptoms ,clinical examination and ultrasound abdomen and if needed CT scan.

Since you are having pain from 6months it goes in favor of recurrent Appendicits .

I suggest you to consult your doctor and get diagnosed and get it removed by surgery. Also rule out other cause of chronic pain like renal calculus.

Hope I have answered your query. If any further queries are there I would love to help.

Regards
