Can A Small Hit On Stomach Cause Injury To It?
Question: I was reaching for a Corelle large soup dish from the second shelf of my kitchen cabinet and it fell and hit my stomach - can that hurt your stomach
Brief Answer:
No.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
No, it is hardly possible to injure a stomach in such way. Please note that the abdominal organs are well protected by muscles and fatty tissue. Moreover most of abdominal organs are movable and soft so in case of hit, they stay untouched.
Only strong injury like car accident or kick in the abdomen can cause stomach injury.
So if you have no vomiting with blood, strong abdominal pain, abdomen is not bloated, no need to worry.
Hope this will help. feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
