Does Gallbladder Dysfunction Cause Pain In The Upper Abdomen?
i have had pains in my upper right abdomen for 6 years now, I have been to the doctor multiple times and they always say its just IBS or something like that. I also have an indentation in the area where it hurts. The pains are typically mild and come and go a lot. Today, I had some pains in my right shoulder...could this be a problem with my gall bladder or liver?
As you mentioned you have problem of pain at upper right abdominal area that may be because of liver problem or other reasons.
Ultrasonograph is helpful for further diagnosis. Consult a gastroenterologist for further diagnosis. Detail history and investigation helpful for diagnosis. Start a treatment as per reason behind it..
I hope this will help you. Get well soon.. Thank you.
