Pain in the upper, right quadrant of the abdomen

A hepatic abscess is a pus-filled sac in the liver that causes discomfort in the upper right abdomen. A variety of common bacteria can produce an abscess. Other illnesses that might cause it include blood infection, liver damage, or an abdominal infection such as appendicitis or a perforated colon.

Generally, your doctor will aim to avoid surgery wherever feasible. It may be important in some cases to avert consequences or disease progression. If your kidney stones are too large to pass naturally, your doctor may decide to break them up into smaller bits that can be passed. They could also use a scope to get rid of the stones. Because the RUQ includes several vital organs, it is critical to monitor RUQ discomfort and any other symptoms in order to get treatment in a timely way and avoid consequences.
