Question : I fell a couple of hours ago. I was in a chair and when I leaned back I fell backwards. I felt stress on my pelvic area. After feeing the soreness I went to the bathroom and noticed allot of swelling red lumps in my pelvic area. I always check myself and This just happened. I just cannot wrap my head around how a fall can cause this. My pelvic area is very sore to the touch since the fall. What could this be? They do not itch , but they are tender to the touch. At first I thought lymph nodes but it seems to be on my skin. Although I am a male I was hoping I could get your opinion since it’s my pelvic area. Thank you.

Brief Answer:
Bruise after fall.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your question and saw attached pictures.

These red lumps are bruises / blood clots that form after a fall. There are minor injuries which will heal on its own.

I dont see any reason to worry or panic. Wait for a week, and these will slowly fade and go away.

Let me know if you need anymore help.

Regards
