Is flying advisable with repeated haematoma?
Patient: I have recently been in hospital after bursting a blood vessel and causing a hematoma. I had a severe bout of coughing which caused the burst blood vessl. The doctor said the hematoma would eventually be absorbed into my body and no further treatment was necessary. I am now being treated for the chest infection which caused the cough. What i would like to know is, will it be okay to fly in september , this is the second time this has happened to me . Doctor: Hi,Thanks for asking.Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows:1. Hematoma is due to bursting of blood vessel and is minor.2. As there is no other risk factor other than coughing and you are being treated for it, there is no risk due to flying.3. Nothing to worry, you hematoma should be small one and it will get absorbed in a month.Hope it helps.Any further queries, happy to help again.
