The difference between rib pain and liver pain is mainly reflected in the site of pain after pressing, accompanying symptoms and past medical history.
1. If there is obvious pain when pressing on the ribs, then it is rib pain. If it is liver pain, pressing on the ribs has no effect, and the pain is only aggravated when pressing on the lower abdomen at the rib margin.
2. Comorbidity: the liver is the site of bile secretion, so liver problems are often accompanied by indigestion, constipation or diarrhea and other symptoms, while rib pain is mostly simple.
3. Pre-existing diseases: pain in the liver is mostly caused by impaired liver function, while pain in the ribs is mostly caused by violent trauma.
If you find any of the above parts of the pain should be timely medical care, clear diagnosis, active treatment.
