Question 1

how long to hematomas take to heal?

Accepted Answer

It can take awhile: Hematomas are collections of blood underneath the skin that lie within the soft tissue.  They can occur from trauma or happen spontaneously.  They body will slowly reabsorb them with time in general and it can be difficult to estimate how long that can take depending on the size, extent and location of the hematoma.

Question 2

can i use viagara after a hemotoma ?

Accepted Answer

: Please discuss this with your Neurologist who knows your medical history and can make recommendations. If you are not confident with your Doctor please see another for a second opinion.

Question 3

does a chronic hematoma evolve from a subacute hematoma?

Accepted Answer

: We use the adjective acute, subacute and chronic to describe how fast or slow the symptoms and signs appear when the subdural hematoma happens after a head injury. That adjective term is not used to indicate the evolution of the subdural hematoma, i.e. subacute subdural hematoma does not evolve into a chronic subdural hematoma. I hope you are satisfied with this explanation.

Question 4

how do you prevent hematomas?

Accepted Answer

Don't get hurt!: A hematoma is a "bruise".  Usually caused by injury.  To avoid 100% of these, is impossible.  We all bang ourselves on something, we have all fallen, etc.  You can  
 avoid injuries by caution, seat belts, protective sports gear, good warm-ups before activity, avoiding intoxicants etc.   Sometimes unexplained bruising can occur due to medication effects or bleeding disorders. See a doc for this.

Question 5

what does a hematoma look like?

Question 10

what causes a hemotoma from a hernia wound?

Accepted Answer

Incisional bleeding : A hematoma associated with a surgical incision would typically occur due to small amount of bleeding under the staples or sutures shortly after closure.  It can keep that section of skin and tissue from healing as quickly as it should and could cause a small opening that will need wound care to heal more slowly.
