What are some things i can do to heal an abdominal puncture wound?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
How recent?: If this is a new woundyou should seek medical assistance for any abdominal puncture wound as it can be difficult too assess its depth. Until a physician has looked at it consider it to have penetrated through and possibly injured an internal organ. Put pressure on any bleeding cover with clean dressing and get immeadiate help.
