Pain in the lower right side of the stomach may be caused by cholecystitis. Cholecystitis is a common disease with a high incidence rate. According to its clinical manifestations and clinical course, it can be divided into two types: acute and chronic, and it often coexists with cholelithiasis. Severe pain or colic in the right upper abdomen is mostly acute cholecystitis caused by stones or parasites blocking the neck of the gallbladder. The pain often occurs suddenly, is very severe, or presents like colic. In acute cholecystitis without obstruction of the cystic duct, the pain in the right upper abdomen is generally not severe, and is mostly persistent bloating. As the gallbladder inflammation progresses, the pain may also worsen, and the pain is radiating. The most common radiating sites are the right shoulder and the lower angle of the right scapula.
