I was kicked in the groin In a fight today and my groin is in pain. It happened about 4 hrs. Ago. The pain was minimal then started to get worse. The pain is bad now and there is a bump starting to come out on my stomach to the right of my belly button. What is happening. Any help in answering my question would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Hi, thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. Propably you could have suffered a soft tissue hematoma (blood clot) due to blunt injury. Its always necessary to have an abdominal ultrasound examination to rule out any visceral injury. The general treatment guidelines are as follows -* Take adequate rest and don't involve in activities that causes pain* Ice packing over the painful area once in 2 hours* apply a compression bandage over the swollen area * use analgesics like Advil or alive to reduce the pain and inflammation your symptoms are not resolving with the above measures, consult your family physician for further management. Hope this information is helpful. Good day
