Hello
Thanks for query
Blunt trauma to abdomen always needs ultrasound. It can detect the visceral injuries like injury to liver, kidney, pancreas etc. Free fluid in abdomen can also be detected by U.S.G. It gives clue about bleeding structure in abdomen.
If required, contrast CT scan of abdomen can be done further.so, you contact your surgeon and go for clinical examination first.

Consult surgeon and get examined.
