A member asked:
I fell on the right side low down of my bottom, big bruise. does a fall cause clots to form/ to have cataract surgery 2 weeks after fall?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, and no: The fall caused the bruise. It is a collection of blood in the muscle, not a clot that could go anywhere. A bruise could not cause cataract surgery if that was your question, nor should it interfere with cataract surgery. Just mention it to your surgeon. S/he may do blood work to make sure that your blood clotting is normal. Good luck!
