Which department should I visit for abdominal pain on the right side of the navel?
Disease description:
After work, I experienced abdominal pain on the right side of my navel and would like to go to the hospital for a check-up. I want to know which department I should visit for pain in the abdomen on the right side of the navel.
When experiencing abdominal pain on the right side of the navel, it is recommended to first choose the appropriate medical department based on the nature of the pain and accompanying symptoms. If the pain is related to digestive system symptoms such as eating, indigestion, or diarrhea, a visit to the gastroenterology department is advised. If accompanied by symptoms such as jaundice, aversion to oily foods, or discomfort in the liver area, the hepatobiliary department should be consulted. If the pain recurs frequently or is accompanied by dull pain in the lower right abdomen, it may be caused by appendicitis, and a visit to the gastrointestinal surgery department is recommended. If urinary system symptoms are present, such as back pain, kidney area tenderness upon percussion, or painful urination, the urology department should be visited. If infection-related symptoms such as fever, diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting occur, the infectious diseases department is appropriate. If the pain is associated with trauma, general surgery is recommended. If the pain is severe and accompanied by acute infection symptoms such as intense abdominal pain, fever, or persistent diarrhea, immediate evaluation at the emergency department is necessary.
