Since both the gallbladder and the liver are located in the right upper abdomen of the body, the difference between gallbladder pain and liver pain is not too great when it comes to self-judgment, and the distinction can usually be made in terms of the nature and extent of the pain.
1. The pain caused by the gallbladder is usually persistent colic, the pain is more intense, and the pain is mainly in the right upper abdomen, to the right midclavicular line and the right rib margin cross downward pressure pain is obvious, can be radiated to the right shoulder.
2. The pain caused by liver is usually persistent vague pain and distension, sometimes manifested as severe pain, the pain site in the right upper abdomen, a very small part of the right shoulder can be involved in the pain.
Self-judgment is inaccurate, if the epigastric pain is uncomfortable, should promptly consult a medical practitioner for professional judgment, so as not to delay the condition.
