This depends on many things, but most importantly, are you a female? If so, you may be experiencing "Mittleschmertz", which is a fancy term for pain during ovulation. If you're in the middle of your menstrual cycle, one of your ovaries is releasing an egg (ovum), and this can sometimes cause sharp, intermittent pain in the right or left lower abdomen (pelvic area). The side you feel it on depends upon which ovary is releasing the ovum (the right and left ovaries "take turns" each month!!). This is a harmless condition. You can try an over the counter pain killer such as ibuprofen. A heating pad placed on the lower abdomen may also be useful.

Does not having your appendix make you die at a younger age?

I do not think there has been any scientific study done on the effects of a life span after losing an appendix. Though they have done studies showing that your appendix is no longer needed, so getting it removed has no bad side effects. The only way you not having your appendix affecting your life would be if it bursts and u don't get it taken care of. A ruptured appendix can kill you if not taken care of usually rather immediate. So as of right now not having an appendix will neither kill you quicker or prolong your life. you die when it is your time and by w/e means it happens. Not having an appendix or having one wouldn't really matter if u get hit by a car tomorrow. So rest assured that you will live as long as u will live with or without your appendix.
