What Could Be The Knot On Lower Abdomen After Hitting Door?
He is very concerned about a knot on his lower abdomin/upper inguinal area. He hit it very hard on a door about 3 weeks ago and it bruised pretty bad. His leg has felt semi-numb ever since, and he had some red mark lines on his upper left thigh. The spot is around 2 inches down from his belly button and 3 inches over to the left. Right below the small knot you can feel a vein going down. It is also slightly bruised which we just noticed today. We were worried about hernia/blood clot/aneurysm. We were wondering if it could be something serious where we need to seek medical attention quickly, or if it is likely to heal and should be ok.

What Could Be The Knot On Lower Abdomen After Hitting Door?
Hi, Thanks for writing to HCM. That is likely to be a hematoma (blood clot), and that should resolve by itself in a few weeks. But for the numbness in his legs, you need to see a surgeon or an orthopedic for a clinical examination to rule out any other injury. Regards Dr. Ashish Verma
