A member asked:
Had stereo breast biopsy on oct 28. nicked artery and i bled a lot. used thrombin to stop bleeding. formed hematoma that started oozing yesterday.ok?

Probably okay: If you see severe swelling or see active bleeding seek medical help. A slight bit of oozing is not that abnormal given what happened. If the area gets red or warm seek help as these could be signs of infection.

Call doctor: It is best to be seen by the doctor who performed the biopsy. If it was done by a radiologist, i recommend getting a referral for a breast surgeon who can follow you and make sure the hematoma does not become a problem.
