A member asked:

Can holding constant pressure to the lower left side of your tummy cause internal bleeding?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not sure..: That i understand your question. Acute traumatic injury, being struck on one side, can cause internal damage like in a bad car accident. Just having external pressure placed on one side of the body would not cause damage unless it were a very heavy large object of many hundreds of pounds. Internal gas pressure would not cause bleeding.
