Feeling of blockage and discomfort in the right upper abdomen, with mild pain.
In general, discomfort or mild pain in the upper right abdomen may be caused by factors such as indigestion, enteritis, or cholecystitis. Patients can receive symptomatic treatment based on the specific cause. The details are as follows:
1. Indigestion
If a person consumes excessive amounts of food at once, gastrointestinal motility may slow down, leading to indigestion and increased gas production in the abdomen. This can result in symptoms such as bloating and pain in the upper right abdomen. Under medical guidance, patients may take medications such as compound rennet enzyme capsules or Bacillus subtilis bichong live bacteria granules. Additionally, they should avoid eating large quantities of food in one sitting.
2. Enteritis
Poor dietary hygiene may lead to infection by pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria or viruses, triggering an inflammatory response. Inflammation that irritates the intestines can cause abdominal pain. Under medical guidance, patients may use medications such as lactic acid bacillus tablets or Sophora flavescens capsules, while also paying attention to maintaining proper dietary hygiene.
3. Cholecystitis
A recent decrease in immunity may allow pathogens to travel up the bile duct into the gallbladder, causing inflammation and the release of inflammatory mediators, resulting in pain in the right side of the abdomen. Under medical guidance, patients may take medications such as cefixime capsules or minocycline hydrochloride capsules, and ensure adequate rest.
Besides the three causes listed above, other conditions such as common bile duct stones, appendicitis, or liver cirrhosis could also be responsible. It is recommended that patients seek timely medical evaluation and treatment.
