How To Get Rid Of Bruising On Lower Left Abdomen?

Hi, I have an oblong bruise on lower left abdomen that just seemed to appear. Also when lying on my left side, I tend to have a pain like a pulled muscle in that area leading to groin area. This has been at the same time period as a pain in lower left back area. Wondered if it is possible that it could be a hernia or just a pulled muscle?

Hi there..IF its a hernia, there would a increase in swelling on bending forward or coughing and which goes back on lying down . Does this happen.. to you?Since you mentioned a bruise or pain.... try applying a pain liniment over the area for aweek. If the pain persists, if its incapacitating, consult a surgeon who will examine your abdomen physically.
