Suggest Treatment For Fatty Liver And Pain Below The Rib Cage
Dull pain below right side ribcage, almost like if liver was inflamed or swollen, tried natural herbal capsules but it is not going away and it disappears for a little while after eating. Not a constipated person but experienced some hardiness in my stools. Some days go hours without food and large meal after 7 pm. Drink 1 or two glasses of beer or wine daily with meals.
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
First of all i would like to know if you are diagnosed with fatty liver. Fatty liver is a liver disease characterized fatty infiltration of liver & is mostly caused due to by alcohol abuse. However diabetes & obesity can also cause this disease. Pain below rib cage on right side can be due to many reasons such as duodenal ulcer, muscular pain, gall bladder stones, liver & bile duct problems. Muscular pain would occur on movement of the body. Duodenal Ulcer & gall bladder pain normally gets exaggerated after meals. Elevation of liver enzymes (SGOT, SGPT, AST levels) should be checked too.
Consult a physician Hope this information helps
