Where is your liver? is it near the ribs or near the belly button? what would cause upper right stomach discomfort?

Liver: Your liver is normally in the upper right portion of your abdomen. Pain in the right upper area can be caused by many issues including liver, gallbladder, and other problems. Please consult with a physician if you have significant pain in the abdomen, regardless of location.
