I have an annoying discomfort on my right side under my rib cage that comes and goes but seems worse the week before my period and during. My periods have also gone a bit strange. I am spotting for a few days before it starts properly and they have become quite irregular. I m 42 but I don t think I am perimenopausal as have no other symptoms and started quite late

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It is most likely due to gastritis caused by hormonal imbalance. It could be due to cholelithiasis. Get your ultrasound abdomen to rule out the possibility of gall bladder stone.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
