6. Pain and swelling in the abdomen.
A swelling, throbbing or aching sensation on the right side of the body under the ribs or lower down in the abdomen is another common complaint for patients with liver problems that are undiagnosed.
While it might sound a little surprising to you, up to seven percent of the world’s population may have liver fibrosis, a chronic ongoing condition that is caused when there is excess tissue damage or scarring that weakens liver function.
As the damage worsens, it is common that the pain and swelling may shift from a dull ache to a sharp throb or stabbing pain that is recurrent and localized.
