Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am having little discomfort (kind of pain) in my right side just below the ribs. it should be the area of my liver. 2 months back i saw blood drops along with my stool and also my apetite went down drastically. I went to a gastroenterologist and he gave me a tablet before food in the morning and lactifiber after dinner. Everything become normal. but this discomfort just below my right ribs is still existing. What may be the reason? I can provide any more info if you want.
Hi. Thanks for your query. Noted the history and understood your concerns. Continuing discomfort below the right lower ribs can be due to the following reason: Costochondritis. Gall bladder infection with or without stones. Hepatitis. Colitis. Duodenal ulcer pains. This can be diagnosed by the following: Ultrasonography along with a clinical re-valuation by the Doctor helps a lot to get the proper diagnosis. This can be aided by tests of liver functions and other blood test, tests of stool. The management solely depends upon the diagnosis thus made. Blood drops along the stool with loss of appetite got well with the medications that your Gastroenterologist so continue further.
