Is on and off pain in right abdomen and near the ribs related to distended gallbladder ?
Patient: Hi, i had an ultrasound yesterday and results mentioned well distended gallbladder with no gallstones seen. I'm also having a pain in my right abdomen and feel the pain on and off in by back on the right side near my ribs. Is this serious ?Report also mentioned i had lots of bowel gas and scan was difficult.Thanks. Doctor: Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.it can be related to gallbaldder even if there is no galbaldder stone in it. there can be polyp or motility disfunction and you should do HIDA scan. Also it can be realted to your liver of bowel. Most common bowel disrders are IBD but inflammatory bowel disease should be ruled out too. Wish you good health. Regards
