Pain in the right side, depending on the exact location and type of pain, can accompany many diseases that are significantly different from each other. Find out what your pain shows and how to diagnose it.
Pain in the right side – causes
- A dull ache in the right side, it may mean kidney stones or fatty liver, i.e. its neglect through an inappropriate diet or alcohol abuse.
- Stab however, it can also herald kidney stones, but also gallstones, cholecystitis, pneumonia and liver enlargement.
- Acute pain it may be a symptom of inflammation in the large intestine or cholecystitis.
It is extremely important to accurately locate the pain. If the pain is felt in the right side of the abdomen, it may be related to:
- gall bladder,
- liver,
- small or large intestine.
All these organs are located on the right side of the abdomen, hence the assumption that this type of pain may be associated with the problems in them.
Pain in the right side of the back, in addition to kidney and gallstone disease and nephritis, may be the result of overload or injury to the spine, posture defects, discopathy, rheumatic disease or simply neuralgia. It is likely that the pain in your posture, spine or rheumatism will appear as a little noticeable moth and will worsen over time. However, it is worth visiting a doctor after the first, often minor pains, because this may save you from later serious health complications. It is also worth performing an ultrasound of the abdominal cavity to get to know the results as soon as possible and implement appropriate treatment. You can find the offer on the Medonet Market.

Pain in the right side is sometimes felt by pregnant women. It is often associated with hormonal changes in the first trimester, and with the enlarging uterus, which then puts pressure on other organs. If the pain is intense and does not stop, or is accompanied by vaginal bleeding, you should see a gynecologist immediately as this may be a sign of a miscarriage.
