What Causes Dark Purple Bruise On The Lower Abdomen?
Question: I just noticed a large dark purple bruise on my lower abdomen below my navel. I did not notice it this morning. I have also been experiencing pain in my lower back radiating more toward my left side. I have had numbness and tingling in my fingers since Saturday, not as bad by today but I am still noticing I do not have as much control when I grasp the pen. My handwriting is a little off.
Brief Answer:
Possible intraabdominal pathology.Need a CT scan abdomen.
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Madam
I can certainly understand your concern.
I have worked through the attached images as well.
This bruise can represent any intraabdominal pathology related .
Hence I advise you to get a CT scan of the abdomenand pelvis ay the earliest.
Further management if any is largely based on test results.
Meanwhile, I prescribe oral pills of tramadol for pain control.Please check with your physician if he shares my view and if can prescribe these pills to you.
Post your further queries if any.
