Organs on the right side of the abdomen mainly include the liver, gallbladder, right ureter, right kidney, appendix, part of the ascending colon and transverse colon. The organs on the right side of the abdomen of everyone are exactly the same, and there is no difference. However, if there is pain in the right side of the abdomen, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly for examination. There are many organs, so the cause of the pain cannot be determined.
Organs on the right side of the abdomen:
1. Liver
The liver is an important digestive organ of the human body. The liver secretes a large amount of digestive enzymes to help the body digest food.
2. Gallbladder
This is where the body stores and concentrates bile. Once stones or gallbladder inflammation occur in the gallbladder, it will cause pain symptoms in the upper right abdomen.
3. Right kidney and right ureter
These are important ducts for urine production and excretion. When patients have urinary tract stones, they will be accompanied by pain and discomfort in the right lower back.
4. Part of the transverse colon and ascending colon
These are the parts where colon tumors are prone to occur. Once colon tumors occur, they will cause incomplete intestinal obstruction, causing clinical manifestations such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and abdominal distension.
5. Appendix
Also known as vermiform appendix, it is a slender and curved blind tube located in the lower right abdomen, between the cecum and ileum. Its root is attached to the posterior medial wall of the cecum, and the distal end is free and closed. The range of movement varies greatly from person to person, influenced by the mesentery, etc. Acute appendicitis is one of the most common acute abdominal diseases in clinical practice, and surgical removal of the appendix is usually the treatment choice.
