Ihave a hematoma from a ostomy reversal how can i help it resolve?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Eating well and walk: Your ostomy takedown was probably either from previous trauma or for a cancer operation. Either way the best way to help the hematoma resolve is to help the healing process. Eating healthy and exercise are the best habits for your body. Eat good protein and enough fiber. Stay hydrated so you don't have hard stool. Walk a little more each day but don't over do it.
