Abdominal Pain And Liver Cysts
Liver cysts, which are cavities that fill up with a bile-like fluid in the liver, are often relatively harmless and don't compromise liver function. Most of the time, they cause no pain or other symptoms.
However, in certain cases, they can grow large enough to trigger some bloating, a feeling of fullness, and pain in the upper right part of the abdomen. Sometimes, they're even big enough that you can feel them.
In rare instances, liver cysts may be a symptom of a more serious, underlying condition, including the following.
Polycystic liver disease, This is a rare inherited disorder characterized by the presence of cluster of 20 or more liver cysts.
Echinococcus infection, This comes from an infection by a species of parasitic tapeworm that comes from animals.
Liver cancer, also known as hepatic cancer and primary hepatic cancer, is simply cancer that starts in the liver.
The causes of simple liver cysts are unclear, but it's suspected that they may result from a malformation present at birth.
Since there are often no symptoms, most liver cysts are discovered by accident during tests for other liver disorders. They can be detected using ultrasound or computerized tomography. Treatment usually involves drain or removing the cyst.
Pain in the abdominal area can have dozens of different causes. You should rely only on a doctor for a diagnosis of any discomfort you're feeling in the abdomen.
