My 81 yr old father fell 10 days ago resulting in a fractured skull, and a subdural hematoma for which he was hospitalized. While hospitalized an arrhytmia was diagnosed and a pacemaker implanted3 days ago. The electrophysiologist,cardiologist and pacemaker technician said that the pacemaker was working well, until today when they informed us that they the lower lead was displaced. So now they are considering repositioning the lead.
They found I had developed an epicardial hematoma near where one of the pacemaker leads was implanted into my right ventricle. It was rubbing against the pericardium and causing an inflammatory response. They put me on Colchicine and Advil for the inflammation. On my last echo the hematoma was pretty much all gone and I’ve been taken off the Colchicine. I am feeling quite a bit better now.
Now that this is pretty much behind me I can’t tell you how pleased I am with the outcome.
When a lemon-sized hematoma was left in my breast after a biopsy that revealed I had breast cancer, the radiation oncologist was very concerned about how long it was left there. Can hematomas encourage cancer growth if left in the breast.? Do the enzymes that come to break down the hematoma have carcinogenic properties?
What I thought was significant bruising was actually a huge hematoma forming. I am still quite swollen and tender but am making healing progress each day. Upon seeing the radiation oncologist he suggested waiting a couple of weeks before having a CAT scan and starting radiation therapy. Question - must all of the hematoma be absorbed before having the CAT scan and radiation?
My cat had a serious hematoma on his ear. I took him to the vet and they drained it and stitched it. I took him back 2 days later because the swelling came back and covered the stitches and they had to repeat the procedure. Now his ear is not swollen over the stitches again, but swollen and I cannot see down into his ear. Is this something I should be worried about? I do not have the money to continue bringing him back to the Vet if there is nothing they can really do.
The next day I go to pet him and his ear is inflated! So this is my problem....My cat has a ear hematoma, I took him to the vet and they found there was yeast in his ears. For the hematoma they gave me the options of lancing, surgery, etc. but told me it was okay to leave it. They gave me drops to put in his ears for the yeast infection. This is the problem: Everytime I put the drops in his ears he just starts shaking his head more!
SDH is subdural hematoma is also commonly seen in the elderly and in alcoholics, who have evidence of cerebral atrophy. It is also more common in patients on anticoagulants, especially aspirin and warfarin. Patients on these medications can have a subdural hematoma with a minor injury and it is abnormal localized collection of blood in which the blood is usually clotted or partially clotted..
The treatment of a hematoma depends on its location and size.
I developed a hematoma 10 days after my 5th child was born, and my doctor drained it, and it healed up quickly. 10 days after my 6th child was born, I developed another. This one needed surgery to drain it. The surgery went well, and I was feeling much better the next day. Well, a couple days later, another one formed. (I had been in bed trying to heal- not up and around.) It has been quite painful. My daughter is 6 weeks old, and I am only now able to somewhat sit up without a lot of pain.

I suffered a periorbital hematoma and a subconjunctival hemorrhage over 2 months ago in a basketball game. The scleral bleeding has healed, but the bruising and part of the swelling has yet to go away. I still feel pain around my eye (throbbing sensation every now and then). Can anyone help?

t go away in the next three weeks, not really, the swelling only went down a little. So I decided it was a hematoma just not likely very severe. Within another three weeks all the swelling had gone down and the discoloration shrunk considerably from the entire shin to a spot on my gastrocnemius. Since then there has been little to no change, the spot is still discolored like a fresh bruise, only slightly tender to touch.
Any ideas why this has not healed yet?
