Pain under the right and left ribcage
could originate from the stomach, duodenum
or gallbladder. Several diagnostic
procedures are required to identify the
reason for the pain such as: blood
analyses (blood count, liver status, renal
status, Helicobacter pylori-serology…),
abdominal ultrasound, gastroscopy, etc.
You can consult an internist about your
pain and request the diagnostics.
