What Does A Lump In The Lower Abdomen After An Injury Indicate?

our 16 year old son took a knee to his lower abdomen taking a charge during a basketball game. he has about a 1 inch raised area just above the pubic area where the knee hit him. the trainer looked at it just after it happened and advised ice. He is not complaining of any symptoms besides pain to the area. It's been about 2 hours since the incident. do we need to be seeking any additional help?

Hello dear

Warm welcome to Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your query for your son in details .

* 1 inch area seems to be hematoma formation post injury .
* Though primary relief can be obtained from ice , consulting with
your primary care provider is necessary for further antibiotics and anti
inflammatory drugs to recover it faster and prevent secondary infection .

Wishing him fine recovery .
Feel free to ask any further queries .

Regards .
