Yes, appendix pain can come and go. Pain in the appendix is generally caused by a condition known as appendicitis, which is an inflammation of the appendix. The pain associated with appendicitis usually begins in the area around the navel or the upper abdomen, and then shifts to the lower right abdomen as the inflammation progresses. In most cases, the pain is constant and gradually increases in intensity as the inflammation worsens. However, in some cases, the pain may come and go, or remain localized to one area of the abdomen.
The cause of appendicitis is typically a blockage of the appendix, which can be caused by a variety of things such as a buildup of stool, a tumor, an infection, or a foreign body that has become stuck in the appendix. These blockages can cause the appendix to become swollen and inflamed, leading to pain. In some cases, the blockage can resolve on its own, which can lead to the pain subsiding or coming and going.
If you experience any type of abdominal pain, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Appendicitis can be a serious condition and can result in a ruptured appendix if left untreated. Your doctor will be able to diagnose the cause of your pain and recommend the best treatment.
