Popped something in my stomach while taking blows

[DingoCartman]

I just started doing Muay Thai conditioning, when it was time for the stomach I hanged and a friend punched me in the front and sides of the stomach.
The blows weren't that hard, but at some point I felt like I was stabbed with a needle, when lifted my shirt I saw a swelling just beneath the ski, a bit smaller than a tennis ball, slightly painful to touch.

The swelling is gone now, just a small blue mark remains. I am curious what was that? A small vessel popped under the skin? Anyone had one of those?

I think hernia should appear slowly, not as a result of a mild blow. Plus, the swelling was gone in an hour.

Possibly, if something sort of popped up on me then went back in, I'd be worried about a hernia and see a doc.

I disagree with hernias happening slowly, I had a double inguinal hernia repaired a few years ago and I actually don't even know when I got it, I mean it was obviously from bjj/muay Thai/ lifting but it was painless, I could push it back in and it would just pop out.

It was fucking lame.

Crap... I'll check it with the doctor, just in case.

In just saying, if something bulged out and went back in that's what I would be worried about.

You can either see a doctor or wait and see if it happens again. But nobody here is a medical doctor (I think there's a med student here) so nobody can really diagnose you over the Internet.
