Dr. Wang Mingxuan
Waking up with pain in the right abdomen may be caused by acute appendicitis, cholecystitis, or other conditions. Acute appendicitis can be triggered by factors such as bacterial infection or obstruction of the appendix lumen, leading to pain in the lower right abdomen, often accompanied by symptoms like fever, nausea, and vomiting. Cholecystitis may result from gallstones or pathogenic infections, causing pain in the upper right abdomen, along with possible symptoms including nausea, vomiting, high fever, and jaundice. Patients are advised to seek medical attention promptly to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment.
