Why is there pain in the right ribs? There are actually two situations

Right rib pain is a condition that many people experience in daily life, seriously affecting people's normal life and work. But what exactly causes the pain in the right rib cage? Most people don't quite understand this. In fact, there are two types of pain in the right ribs. One is pain under the ribs, and the other is bloating. The causes of pain in different areas are different.

1. What causes pain below the right ribs? 1. Liver disease. For example, acute and chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, liver cancer, etc. can cause pain below the right ribs. The liver is located in the right abdomen. If the liver is diseased, it will cause the liver and spleen to become inflamed and swollen, which will then pull on the liver capsule and cause liver pain, which will involve pain below the right ribs. In particular, hepatitis B patients should be examined and treated promptly if they experience pain below the right ribs.

2. Cholecystitis and gallstones. Because it is around the right ribs, gallbladder diseases including gallstones, cholecystitis, bile duct obstruction, gallbladder tumors, etc. can cause right rib pain. 3. Intercostal neuralgia is a syndrome in which the intercostal nerves are damaged due to various reasons, resulting in band-like pain between the chest and ribs protecting the abdomen.

4. Gastritis. Sometimes stomach pain can radiate to other parts of the body, causing pain. You can check the stomach, such as barium meal, gastroscopy, etc. If you find pain under the right ribs in your daily life, you can go to a regular hospital for relevant examinations. It is particularly noteworthy that if the cause cannot be found after relevant examinations, you must go to a regular hospital for a more detailed liver function test and to understand the status of hepatitis B virus in the body, and then receive appropriate treatment according to the doctor's arrangements. Do not allow the disease to develop. If hepatitis B is confirmed, timely treatment is necessary to ensure the treatment effect, minimize treatment time and minimize costs, so as to avoid adverse consequences.

2. Causes of pain under the right ribs:

1. Gallbladder disease. Clinically, liver stones and cholecystitis are the main causes of dull pain under the right ribs. Patients with this disease should not blindly take medication.

2. Hepatitis is the main cause of the dull pain under the right ribs. When you suffer from liver and gallbladder diseases, the liver is prone to swelling. The liver itself has no nerves, but there is a thin film on the outside of the liver, and there is a layer of capillaries on the film. When the liver swells, the blood vessels will be tightened, causing pain. This is when the patient's attention should be drawn. If your condition cannot be controlled and the liver continues to be damaged, it will develop into cirrhosis.

3. Bone disease is also one of the causes of right rib fractures. For this reason, such patients should go to a bone disease hospital for timely treatment;

4. Bad mood, liver qi stagnation, etc. may also cause pain when pressing below the right ribs. If this happens, don't panic or take medicine indiscriminately. It is best to go to a professional liver disease hospital for examination as soon as possible to determine the cause of the pain and then seek timely treatment; 5. Pleurisy, lung disease, tumors, costochondritis, intercostal neuritis, etc. can also cause pain below the right ribs.
