A member asked:
How hard does a blow to the abdomen have to be to cause internal bleeding? how many hours before symptoms arise?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: Any abdominal trauma has the potential to injure your spleen or other viscera, and cause internal bleeding. That said, it generally takes a great deal of force to cause internal bleeding, such as from a car wreck or serious altercation. However, if you have a condition that gives you splenomegaly, it is much easier to be injured. This is a common problem with infectious mononucleosis.
