pain in upper right abdominal? what is there?

Question

L have been getting really bad abdominal pain all the time and its getting worse and nothing seems to help it ?

Answer 1

RUQ anatomy: Anatomically, the right upper quadrant (RUQ) of the abdomen includes: liver, gallbladder, pancreatic head, bile ducts and ampulla, c-loop of the duodenum, stomach antrum and pylorus, the hepatic flexure of the colon. Don't forget the diaphragm and lower chest are pretty close by. The abdominal musculature, ribs, and skin can all contribute as well to localizing RUQ pain. An exam is appropriate.

Answer 2

Lots: Could be appendicitis, ovarian torsion (if you're a woman!), crohn's disease, diverticulitis, kidney stones, gas pains or more. Need to see a doc for a proper exam to narrow down the causes.

Answer 3

YOUR APPENDIX: Sits in that area. First thing to rule out would be acute appendicitis. If the pain seems to have traveled to there, a kidney stone is also a possibility, among many others. Please see your doctor asap.

Answer 4

Right quadrant of ab: Most likely gall bladder, but to be sure u needd to see your PCP for evaluation and work up.

Answer 5

Anything: That lives inside the abdomen or pelvis. Ovary, appendix, intestine, abdominal muscle, nerve in the groin. If it persists, see a doctor for a definitive answer.

Answer 6

RUQ pain after meal: Causes include : -gall stones -peptic ulcer -hepatitis -pancreatic disease -faecal loading

Answer 7

Gall Bladder: The gall bladder resides in below the diaphragm and to the right. Fatty foods can cause pain. Could be from a gall stone or gall bladder dyskinesia where it's lots dome ability to contract out its bile contents.

Answer 8

Gallbladder issues: The gallbladder is located in the right upper area of the abdomen and will release bile after eating so issues like you describe could be gallbladder dysfunction or possibly stones. Pancreatic enzymes may also be an issue. Rec a physical exam and your provider may begin with an ultrasound of the gallbladder or Ct scan of the abdomen. Good luck

Answer 9

Abdominal pain: The right upper quadrant of the normal abdomen contains the liver, gallbladder, parts of the intestines and omentum, and the underside of the right diaphragm, and even a bit of pancreas. Any of these organs can cause a dull pain in that area. The relation to eating certain foods favors a colicky gallbladder, but a few blood tests and some imaging will be needed for a more accurate diagnosis.
