10 Causes of Upper Stomach Pain and When to See a Doctor

Liver or Pancreas Issues

The liver, pancreas, and gallbladder play significant roles in aiding digestion. The three organs are all located in the upper-right side of the stomach. In some cases, untreated gallstones may block biliary ducts and cause pain in the liver and pancreas. Liver diseases, like hepatitis [6] can also result in upper stomach pain.

You may experience the following symptoms if you have a liver or pancreas disorder:

  • Vomiting
  • Yellow eyes or skin
  • Very pale or white bowel movements
  • Dark urine
  • Nausea [7]
