What Is The Hard Lump And Sensitivity At The Site Of Fall?

Hi, a week ago I was ridin my bike on some very hard terrain and I had quite a bad fall! Nut when I fell I fell straight on my front and my jeans dug into my hip, my left hip this is, one of the first things to hit the ground bashed and the jeans dug in, was a heavy fall as it winded me! I then as expected had a bruise there but now it still hurts like a tender bruise but there is a lump there that moves a little under my fingers, it hurts to move it, feels like it s quite s deep lump though. Any ideas? Oh I m 24 and female with endometriosis, couldn t be that could it?!

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

This lump is most likely a blood collection called hematoma. Due to the injury, veins have been ruptured so the blood has appeared in the soft tissues. Large hematoma wont disappear by its own. As the blood contains glucose, bacteria can easily grow in it. This makes any hematoma prone to infection. Sooner or later, hematoma will turn into an abscess.
That is why I suggest you to consult general surgeon. Sift tissues ultrasound should be done and hematoma drained.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
