Pain In Right Rib Cage, Growing Abdomen, Entering Into Menopause. What Could This Be?

Hi, I'm 48 and thought I was entering into menopause. I haven't had a period in over 3 months. I have had some pain in my right rib cage for many months now. My abdomen is growing. I feel like I have a yeast infection. I'm considering a pregnancy test but I had a tubal ligation 22 years ago. I'm just not sure what's going on. No insurance, though, makes it a little difficult to afford a battery of tests.

Hi'
The pain in right rib cage in menopausal age can be-
- Digestive disorder Causing gases/constipation/pain under ribs on right side.
_ pain in the ribs.muscles between the ribs ( bone weakness)-this will need a calcium,vitamin D supplement
-A gall bladder/ liver disorder ,
- Right Kidney problem
-Infection of lungs
- Problems of uterus/ovaries.
You have not given any associated symptom,making it difficult to guess accurately.
-It's worth while to get routine blood & urine examination. Sonography abdomen will help for diagnosis
Thanks
