What is the cause of the dull pain in the right abdomen?
This is an automatically translated article.
Yes, hello doctor. Recently, I often have signs of abdominal pain on the right side, from the waist down. Sometimes I have nausea and vomiting. The pain in the abdomen is dull like a pins-and-needles, sometimes intense pain. I've had a cough for more than 2 months and it's getting better now. 1 year ago I had appendectomy. The doctor asked me what was wrong with me? What are the causes of abdominal pain? Please advise, thank you.

Answer
Hi, the abdominal pain as described can be caused by the causes of duodenal ulcer, cholecystitis due to stones, or adhesions after appendectomy. . You need to visit a gastroenterologist for further screening to confirm the diagnosis for appropriate treatment.
