Why does my right rib hurt? Be careful with these diseases

Rib pain cannot be said to be a disease, but rather a symptom. Right rib pain is also very common in clinical practice. Many people don't know what causes right rib pain. Generally, the symptoms of rib pain are related to many factors. It is best to check and determine the cause before treating it.

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.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.

4. If you find pain under the right ribs in 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.
