There can be many reasons for the pain arising in the right side, and they are all different. However, this discomfort is never accidental. Vital organs are located on the right under the ribs, so you should not delay seeking medical help.
You might have problems:
1. With gallbladder
We are talking about the so-called "biliary colic". Unpleasant sensations in this case may occur in the hypochondrium on the right and / or in the upper abdomen. And they appear after you eat something heavier or fatter. The pain can "give" to the right shoulder blade. Symptoms accompanying the condition include flatulence, heartburn, vomiting.
Biliary colic occurs suddenly, but passes slowly - it can last up to several hours.
2. With kidneys
These can include stones, urinary tract infections, and even cancer. All these diseases are fraught with discomfort in the right side. There are other signs that directly indicate kidney problems: pain in the lower back or groin, painful urinary frequency, and high fever.
3. With liver
Liver diseases often manifest themselves as pain in the right side. It can be steatosis, and hepatitis, and blood stagnation due to heart failure, and liver thrombosis, and some hematological diseases, and cancer. In addition to dull severe pain, such diseases accompany:
- jaundice;
- itchy skin;
- changes in urine, stool;
- constant feeling of tiredness;
- loss of appetite.
4. From the digestive tract
The causes of pain in the right hypochondrium can be:
- stomach upset;
- peptic ulcers;
- gastritis;
- increased gas formation.
5. With pancreas
Pancreatitis (or inflammation of the pancreas) is a dangerous condition. The pain on the right under the ribs is very strong. Other symptoms of pancreatitis are nausea / vomiting as well as high heart rate and fever.
6. Costal cartilage (inflammation)
This inflammation always causes pain localized to the ribs. Excessive stress, fibromyalgia and other diseases of the respiratory system can cause problems with rib cartilage.
It can hurt under the ribs on the right in other situations. For example, during pregnancy, when the enlarged uterus presses on a certain area. With the birth of a child, pain in this case naturally disappears. Also, a person may experience pain while running. Especially if you overeat before jogging or drink lots of fluids. Improper breathing during physical activity can also cause pain.
