For the past 6 weeks I have been suffering with
abdominal pain on my right side after eating, which at
times can be quite severe taking my breath away.
Doctor what could be the cause of this?
When you have abdominal pain regularly after eating a
large meal this could be a first warning sign of Gallstones.
The Gall bladder is a small organ situated below the liver,
its main function is to store bile produced by the liver to
digest fat, and aid with the absorption of nutrients in the
body. When it malfunctions, this causes an imbalance in the
chemical make-up of the bile creating gallstones. Mild
discomfort to severe cramping in the upper right side of the
abdomen is caused often with added symptoms of nausea
and vomiting.
More common sufferers are females over forty, diabetics,
obese people and those that eat a diet high in fat or womenwho take oestrogen due to hormonal replacement therapy,
birth control or are pregnant.
A simple blood test can show signs of jaundice and
inflammation caused by gallstones, but it is essential to
perform an Abdominal ultrasound, which can be easily
detected on the screen. However, if the stones are deep
within the abdomen a CT or MRI scan will be necessary to
give a positive diagnosis.
