Severe abdominal pain under the right ribcage that moves towards the back is typical for gallbladder-pain. Gallbladder pain can be due to gallstones or a gallbladder infection. Both conditions are often present together at the same time. There are many other disorders that can cause abdominal pain such as a peptic ulcer, pancreatitis, appendicitis, cystitis, kidney stones, intestinal infections… Several diagnostic procedures can be requested to find out the reason for the abdominal pain: 1. Physical examination; 2. Blood analyses (blood count, sedimentation, liver status, kidney status, alpha-amylase, helicobacter pillory…): 3. abdominal ultrasound; 4. Gastroscopy; 5. Colonoscopy You can visit your GP to request these diagnostics or an internist, if necessary. DISCLAIMER: "Ask a Doctor" Questions are answered by Dr. Nikola Gjuzelov, General Practitioner.
