where liver is situated - #19314

Khushi

I am feeling kinda confused and worried about something. I did some reading on anatomy recently, and I keep running into questions about where liver is situated in the body. Maybe it’s because I started feeling these weird pains, like on my right side, and I think that’s where liver is situated, but I’m not exactly sure if that’s the spot. I went to the doc, and they mentioned it could be gallbladder stuff too. But it just got me thinking more about where liver is situated. I’ve tried looking at diagrams online, but honestly, they just make it more complicated than it needs to be!!! Like, if I press on my abdomen, I'm not even clear if what I’m feeling is liver or something else. I also read that liver is located near the stomach, so does that mean it’s close to my ribs? What does it feel like if there’s an actual issue with it? I don't want to freak out for no reason, but if the liver is situated right there and it’s hurting, should I get checked again? Anyone else had similar pains in that area? Like, where liver is situated and all that stuff, I just want to have a better grasp on it.
