Question
Hello doctor,
For three days now, I have a pain like hip shock, right abdomen pain when taking a deep breath, laughing also hurts. I went to the gynecologist but there were no abnormalities in the ovaries and uterus. I walk, stand and work normally, no bleeding, no constant pain, only when I breathe in or lie on my side, I will throb. The doctor told me the pain in the right abdomen is a sign of what disease? Is your child's disease related to the liver, appendix or kidneys? I thank you doctor.

Hello,
With the question “What is the sign of pain in the right abdomen? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
You have sharp pain in the right abdomen, you should go for an abdominal ultrasound or a computerized tomography scan of the abdomen to check. If the test results are normal, then the pain is probably caused by muscle tension. You should see a specialist to rule out physical problems. If indeed, as you describe, the location of the hip shock-type pain is not the same as appendicitis and hepatobiliary disease because the location of the pain is different. However, you should not be subjective by ultrasound examination of the abdomen because the location you describe may be relatively close to the liver area.
If you still have questions about right side abdominal pain, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
