Suggest Treatment For Bulge Under My Ribs

Thanks XXXXXXX
It looks like hernia.
Detailed Answer:
welcome to Health care magic.
I am Dr Ganesh.
1. No its not gall bladder. Gall bladder will not show such symptoms.
2. According to your description most likely cause could be hernia. When there is defect in the anterior abdominal wall. The bulge which you are experiencing could be the intestine and Omentum. The pain you are experiencing is because of the strangulation of the bowel / Omentum.
3.Another possible cause could be defect in the diaphragm, Diaphragmatic hernia.
Other causes are Hiatus hernia - when the stomach itself will slide in to the chest region.
4.You need to see surgeon.
5.The primary investigation in this case is - An erect x-ray abdomen, chest PA view, and an ultrasound abdomen ( will help to evaluate any abdominal causes and abdominal wall defect (if present) will be measured by asking you to cough) at the same time clarify your doubt regarding gall bladder.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
