Abdominal Pain
The pain in the liver can be due to several underlying conditions and it can take several forms. A majority of people feel it as a dull, diffusing and non-radiating pain sensation in the upper right quadrant of the abdomen. In some other conditions, it may feel like a severe, stabbing pain that takes your breath away. Sometimes the pain is associated with conditions like portal vein obstruction and may also be accompanied by inflammation of the abdomen. In rare cases, it may also radiate towards the back or to the tip of the right shoulder.
When you experience radiating or non-radiating pain in the upper abdomen, it is a signal that there is something wrong happening in the liver that needs to be immediately addressed. Possible underlying causes associated with labor pain include;
Hepatitis of all types
- Excessive alcohol consumption
- Liver cirrhosis
- Hemochromatosis
- Reye’s syndrome
- Liver cancer
