Bruising In Lower Abdomen

Bruising in your stomach or abdominal area is typically caused by: The trauma from the injury causes blood vessels in the affected tissue to break open. This leads to bruising. Similar to bruising of the stomach or abdominal area, bruising of the back or spinal cord can occur in the event of a fall, accident, or injury.

Answer. The most common cause is fat deposition. Mostly men, but women as well, can develop abdominal fat before deposition in other areas. Another common cause is a hernia. Specifically, a ventral hernia can occur–here the abdominal muscles are weakened and the abdominal contents (such as colon, intestine) can protrude out.

Bruising in your stomach or abdominal area is typically caused by: The trauma from the injury causes blood vessels in the affected tissue to break open. This leads to bruising. Similar to bruising of the stomach or abdominal area, bruising of the back or spinal cord can occur in the event of a fall, accident, or injury.

Treatment for bruising in the abdominal area is dependent on both the location of and how severe the injury is. In some cases, your condition will need to be monitored in a hospital. Treatment may include: surgery to drain excess fluid from your abdomen or to find and stop the source of bleeding

Symptoms of internal bruising can include: pain and tenderness in the region of the injury bruising under the skin of the injured site, in some cases limited range of motion in surrounding joints (muscle bruising)

Back or spinal cord. Similar to bruising of the stomach or abdominal area, bruising of the back or spinal cord can occur in the event of a fall, accident, or injury. Bruising typically occurs when an area of the back is compressed due to the accident or injury.

Causes of a hard stomach include: Sometimes the accumulated gas from drinking a soda too quickly can result in a hard stomach. This uncomfortable feeling dissipates as the gas is expelled. Eating too much at one sitting or eating too quickly can give you an uncomfortable sense of fullness along with a hard stomach.

While most of the common causes of your stomach getting bigger and you are not gaining weight are covered, in some cases, there may be other causes too. Certain allergies, infections, growths or other conditions affecting the gastric, urinary tract or reproductive system too can sometimes cause bigger stomach.

In brief: Belly protrusion. The abdomen protrudes due to multiple factors: fluid buidup in the empty spaces in the abdominal cavity due to protein deficiency; accumulation of fat in the livers due to lack of proteins to transport fat away from the liver; and the concurrent exposure in some cases of parasitic infestation.

Overeating, intestinal gas and pregnancy are obvious reasons for a swollen belly. Other causes that are not so common and that might be serious can include irritable bowel syndrome, congestive heart failure, acute failure of the liver, tuberculosis peritonitis and gastric cancer.
