Common conditions that may cause right-sided pain:
1. Visceral organs: Lesions in visceral organs such as the liver, gallbladder, and kidneys may lead to right-sided pain. Pain in the right upper quadrant is often associated with liver or gallbladder disease.
2. Musculoskeletal: Pain on the right side of the shoulder, back, upper extremity, or lower extremity may be related to spinal conditions such as periarthritis of the shoulder, cervical spondylosis, or lumbar spondylosis. These conditions may cause nerve compression, resulting in pain.
3. Nervous system: If pain is experienced on the entire right side of the body, from the upper abdomen to the chest, lower abdomen, and limbs, it may be related to neurological disorders, such as central nervous system diseases or abnormal nerve conduction.
4. Trauma: Recent impact or injury to the right side of the body may cause local tissue damage, bleeding, or edema, leading to pain.
5. Gynecological: In women, gynecological emergencies such as ovarian cyst torsion or ectopic pregnancy may present as right lower quadrant abdominal pain.
6. Urinary system: Kidney or ureteral stones often cause severe flank or abdominal pain, which may be accompanied by hematuria. Pyelonephritis may also cause similar symptoms.
