What Causes Pain On Right Upper Quadrant Area After Eating?
Hi I have an ongoing pain in my right upper quadrant especially after eating/drinking. Usually comes on within seconds. No radiation. Had it for last 12 months. Other symptoms: very bad smelling periods (like rotten meat/sulphur). First time it happened in 2012 - had cervical cyst removed by gynae.

Pain in the right upper quadrant after eating is concerning for gallbladder disease, e.g. gallstones o, or peptic ulcer disease. Appropriate tests are an ultrasound and possible endoscopy. A trial of acid blockers e.g. zantac may be tried before testing . I would also stop all alcohol and NSAIDS also to see if your symptoms go away
