Q: had a few harsh hits to the lower abdomen. now area is tender, and discomfort in area right between the right side pelvis and belly button. other wise i feel fine. should i be concerned about any internal damage to gi tract?

: Hopefully your abdominal wall musculature was strong enough to protect your internal organs. Significant damage to the intestinal tract would be manifested by passing blood rectally or severe abdominal distension from perforation, internal bleeding or bowel obstruction. . At this time you have no worrisome signs or symptoms.
