What Causes A Hard Lump In Stomach After Getting Bruised?

Hello. A week ago I tripped landing hard on my lower righthand side of my stomach onto the corner of my footboard of my bed. Now the bruising has started to fade but Ive noticed a hard lump about 3 inches long right under the injured area. What could that be and should I go see my doctor?

Hi. Of course yes. Visit a Doctor. The lump is most probably a hematoma, but the resultant local weakness and herniation should be ruled out by a clinical examination and ultrasonography.
