Where do you feel liver pain?

Pain in your liver itself can feel like a dull throbbing pain or a stabbing sensation in your right upper abdomen just under your ribs. General abdominal pain and discomfort can also be related to swelling from fluid retention and enlargement of your spleen and liver caused by cirrhosis.

What causes female liver pain?

Hepatitis, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and excessive alcohol consumption are the most common causes of liver disease. Sometimes, liver damage generates pain in other parts of the body.
