Treatment of hematoma

Treatment of the hematoma can be different depending on the type of hemorrhage, the site of localization, clinical signs and concomitant symptoms.

With intracranial hematomas, treatment is performed only under the supervision of a doctor. Also, an urgent request to the doctor is required if the hematoma is large, progresses, swells, causes intense pain, and is accompanied by an increase in body temperature. The danger with such symptoms lies in the threat of infection of tissues and the development of a purulent process. If necessary, the treatment of such hematomas is carried out surgically.

Conservative ways to get rid of hematomas in the absence of the above unfavorable symptoms are the treatment of the damaged area with cold (for example, attaching to the place of formation of the hematoma of ice for some time), as well as absorbable ointments and gels. The choice of ointments and gels to eliminate hematomas is large enough, you can find such funds in any pharmacy (Dolobien, lyoton, rescuer, troxevasin, etc.).

Repeat this procedure three times a day for about twenty minutes.

In the first few days after the onset of a hematoma, heat procedures should be avoided, and a hot bath should not be taken. To reduce swelling in the place of formation of a hematoma, a tight bandage can be applied.

When performing a surgical procedure, it is possible to pump out the contents of the hematoma, in cases where the blood does not coagulate and accumulate in one place.

Large brain hematomas are removed by trepanation of the skull.

Timely diagnosis and treatment of brain hematomas prevent the further development of negative consequences, such as damage to the nervous system and brain functions.

Intensive pain in the formation of subungual hematoma may indicate a fracture of the bone or other serious injuries that require immediate assistance from the surgeon.

Treatment of chronic hematoma

The aged hematoma, like the newly formed hematoma, can lead to tissue infection and the formation of a purulent process, so to treat the development of complications, treatment of chronic hematoma should be performed under the supervision of a doctor.

Treatment of hematoma at home

Treatment of hematoma at home is allowed only with small amounts of education and no significant symptoms, such as severe puffiness, fever, intense pain. If such signs are absent and the hematoma is a small formation that does not progress after trauma, it is possible to try home treatment methods.

First, immediately after getting the injury to the affected area, ice should be applied as soon as possible. Depending on the location of the hematoma, the duration of such a procedure should be fifteen to twenty minutes with a short break, after which the procedure should be repeated again. The imposition of cold on the place of formation of the hematoma prevents the expansion of blood vessels and the further spread of the hematoma. To avoid hypothermia and frostbite, do not leave ice on the surface of the skin for too long.

At home for the treatment of hematoma can use such tools as honey and cabbage leaf. Softening the leaf until the juice is formed, it is smeared with honey from above, and then applied to the place of occurrence of the hematoma for eight to ten hours. The same principle applies to a burdock leaf, oiled with honey.

To quickly get rid of hematoma at home, it can be treated with various gels or ointments that promote hematoma resorption, which can be bought at any pharmacy.

Treatment of hematoma with leeches

Treatment of hematoma with leeches is considered to be a fairly effective method of getting rid of such formations. Of course, the sooner the treatment starts, the better the result. Damaged tissues using leeches, due to improved microcirculation, recover faster and easier. During the first 24 hours after the beginning of treatment, pain sensations are neutralized, the leech saliva gets into the affected tissues, makes the blood liquefier and prevents its coagulation and formation of clots in the area of the hematoma, which greatly accelerates the resorption process.

Treatment of hematoma by alternative means

Treatment of hematoma by alternative means can be carried out at home with a small size of education and the absence of severe pain syndrome and puffiness. For this purpose, you can use honey, cabbage leaves or burdock, potato starch, wormwood, bodjag, onion or peel of banana.

To resolve the hematoma, you can prepare the following mixture: several onions rub on a small grater and add a tablespoon of salt, after which the resulting mass is applied to the sore spot.

Also, when treating hematoma with alternative agents, potato starch diluted with water to form a thick mixture has a good effect. Such a mixture is applied to the resulting hematoma for several hours, if necessary, the procedure is repeated.

Leaves of cabbage or burdock, oiled with honey, are also able to accelerate the process of resorption of the hematoma.

Ointment from powdered spaghetti is prepared as follows: for two tablespoons of this substance add a tablespoon of water, stir and grease the hematoma, after covering the treated area with a bandage. Do this procedure twice a day.

Rapid hematoma treatment

Rapid hematoma treatment means immediate treatment of a damaged area in the first few hours after trauma. To provide first aid, ice or another cold object is applied to the hematoma for fifteen to twenty minutes, after which a short break is made and the procedure is repeated. The constriction of blood vessels under the influence of cold prevents the further spread of the hematoma.

After first aid, the damaged area is treated several times a day with ointments that promote hematoma resorption, until the symptoms are completely eliminated.

These methods are effective only in cases of small lesions, not accompanied by severe pain and other severe symptoms.
