Dull Pain On Right Hand Side, Worse After Eating, Swelling In Stomach, Itching Around Anus. Any Ideas?
I have a dull ache not sharp pain on the upper right hand side. It feels worse after eating and sometimes my stomach swells and bloats. I do not have this discomfort when I am lying down at night. I have lost about 4 lbs in weight and my appetite isn't as good as it used to be. I had a colonoscopy about 18 months ago and all was well. Another problem is that I awaken many times during the night with severe itching around the anal area. Please do you have any suggestions as to what this might be. Thanks for your help.

Hi, the anal iching in the night could be a symptom of pin worms in the abdomen, there could be other types of worms also in the intestine.
it might be the cause of loss of appitite, bloating, and weight loss.
Avoid taking spices, pulses, and sprouts.
Gastritis might be the cause of shoulderpain, or there may be hypertension. Please get it checked. Thank you.
