Hit by metal rod, lower abdominal injury. Chances of internal bleeding?
Patient: My son hit his side, lower abdomen on his camping chair with the medal rod while runing with it. He cried but didnt complain of pain said it hurt a little. I rubbed the area his right lower abdomen on his side. I was wondering if i should take him to the e.r for check up of internal bleeding? I asked google and now Im worried. please help Doctor: Hi thanks for your question your son was hit by a metallic rod on right lower abdomen and didn't complain of any pain. I would suggest to get him examined by a physician and get ultra sound of his abdomen done to rule out internal bleeding.clinical examination and ultra sound will rule out internal bleeding.If internal bleeding is ruled out by these 2 means ,then there is no need to go to E R. Hope this answer your question
