What causes pain in right side of abdomen?

Since yesterday, I've been having this dull pain on the right side of my stomach, just below the ribs. It's not too bad, but it's constant and a bit worrying. Any idea what could cause this kind of pain?

Pain in the right side of the abdomen can be due to a few things like gallbladder stones, gas, or even appendicitis. Please check if you have any fever or vomiting along with it. If the pain is sharp and persistent, you should definitely see a doctor for an ultrasound.

When I had right side pain, my physician explained that the upper right is usually linked to the gallbladder or liver, while the lower right is often the appendix or bowel. He ran an ultrasound and blood tests to confirm it was a mild infection. Please get it diagnosed properly by a doctor.

Do not try taking any herbal digestive pills or assuming it is just gas. Right side abdominal pain could indicate appendicitis or liver issues, which require proper clinical care. Go to a hospital and get a doctor to examine you physically.

I have been feeling a dull ache on my right side for two days now and I am really worried. Has anyone else experienced this and what did it turn out to be? I am thinking of booking a doctor appointment tomorrow because the anxiety is getting to me.

I had a sudden right side stitch during my runs, which was just a normal muscle cramp. But if your abdominal pain is constant and not related to exercise, it could be internal. Better to log your symptoms and consult a doctor to get an ultrasound done.

Heavy or oily foods can sometimes overload the gallbladder, causing a dull ache on the upper right side of your stomach. Eating light, home-cooked vegetarian meals is always best for recovery. But if the pain is severe, skip the diet changes and go straight to a doctor.
