While rare or uncommon, yes, there have been cases of chronic or recurrent appendicitis that didn't require surgery.
However, due to the fact that those two types of appendicitis are uncommon and appendicitis can be fatal if left unchecked, I'd definitely advice one who has any of the symptoms associated with appendicitis or is concerned they may have appendicitis, to see their health care provider as soon as possible.

Can you have appendicitis surgery while you are 5 weeks pregnant?
The doctors would be most carefull not to interfere with the baby in the process. There is always a chance of something going wrong though, as surgery stresses the body. I do not think the chances of having a miscarriage due to removal of appendix is large.

You can have appendicitis and no pain or you could have an appendicitis with a lot of pain.

Will your wbc always be elevated in an appendicitis?
No, white blood cell (WBC) counts are not always elevated in appendicitis. While leukocytosis (an increase in WBC count) is commonly associated with appendicitis due to infection and inflammation, some patients may present with normal WBC counts, particularly in early or mild cases. Additionally, individual variations and other factors can influence WBC levels. Therefore, a normal WBC count does not rule out appendicitis.

Is t mandatory for American soldiers to take out their appendix?
Of course not!! Who told you that? While appendixes aren't needed, no surgery is mandatory if it isn't necessary, and the only time an appendix ever need be removed is in cases of acute appendicitis, in which not removing it would kill the patient. Surgery is always a risk, and surgery for no reason is just irresponsible. The U.S. Military Medical Corps isn't exactly the smartest, but they're not dummies either. You don't intentionally put people out of commission for no reason.

The appendix lies in the right iliac fossa. Not on the left lower side of the abdomen. Unless you have reverse position of the abdominal organs. So your pain is not likely to be of the appendicitis. Your physician will diagnose it. He may go for ultrasound examination of the abdomen.
