Dull Ache In Upper Abdomen, Radiates Across The Right Side, Faint Burning Sensation. Endometriosis. Any Ideas ?
Hi, my name's AAAA . I've had a dull ache in my upper abdomen (below bottom of rib cage), which feels bruised when I press down on it. I think it is slightly to the right side, but the ache radiates across and feels slightly like a burning sensation that is faint. I've had loose stools for six weeks and have tested negative for parasites. I have also recently been diagnosed with endometriosis. I feel quite tired a lot as well. Can you help me? Thank you.
Hello, Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum. The pain on and around the right rib cage may be due to many reasons as , Consolidation of right lower lobe of lung, Thickened pleura , pleural effusion, lung abscess, hepatomegaly ( enlargement of liver due to any reason), liver abscess, hydatid liver, secondaries in liver. Physical examination and liver function tests with blood tests will reveal the causes and type of disease. Consult a physician and get his opinion. Hope I have answered your question . If further any question I will help. Good luck. Dr. HET
