Dr. Zhao Haiming
Chronic right upper abdominal pain may be caused by gallbladder diseases such as gallstones or chronic cholecystitis. It could also be due to intestinal disorders, such as chronic gastritis or duodenal ulcer. Additionally, kidney stones can also lead to chronic right upper abdominal pain. It is recommended to visit a formal tertiary hospital and undergo relevant examinations to establish an accurate diagnosis.
