Explanation

Of course this is a normal inverted appendix and there is no need to do anything. However, occasionally there is a mass in the appendix pushing the root back into the caecum. Therefore it may be prudent to have a look at the 'apex' of the caecum to make sure that this is not indented in any way. If it was, or if there is another reason to be suspicious, a CT or an ultrasound would be the next step
