The right hypochondriac region is located in the upper-right quadrant of the abdomen, just below the ribs. If a doctor is pressing on this region, they are likely examining the liver.
The liver is the largest organ in the abdomen and is positioned mostly on the right side of the body. It plays a crucial role in the digestive system, metabolism, and detoxification processes. By pressing on the right hypochondriac region, the doctor could be checking for tenderness, enlargement, or any abnormality related to the liver.
