Is Discomfort In The Lower Abdomen After Pressing It Hard A Symptom Of An Internal Bruise?

I've been having pain in my lower right stomach for about 5-6 months, have been to the hospital they said it was gas. Went again last night and they said it was colitis. The doctor pressed really hard on the area I said was painful, and now the area is uncomfortable. Like a 2/10 pain wise. There's no blood in my stool. Could he have ruptured or bruised something?

Hi,

Pain in right lower abdomen for 5 - 6 months can indeed be due to a chronic problems and needs the following:
-Clinical evaluation and examination by a Gastroenterologist.
-Colonoscopy and biopsy.
-CT scan of abdomen.
-Stool tests for three consecutive days
-Tests of blood and urine.
-Any other tests as needed.

This will give the proper diagnosis and a plan for a proper diagnosis. Colitis is one of the commonest reasons but needs the cause that caused it to have a specific treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
