What does hematoma signify?
Patient: what is a hematoma and how long do they last, I fell 3 weeks ago getting out of the bath tub on the tile and hit my head above my right eye brow and have a huge hard bump, was very black and blue but that is all gone except for the bump, they did take xrays and nothing was broken they said i had a hematoma how long do they last?. Doctor: hi,thank you for providing the brief history of you.As you had a fall due to which there will be internal bleeding leading to the formation of haematoma. By the grace of God everything is well and I m happy with that.This haematoma will take couple of days to go and kindly keep patience as body will excrete the unnecessary particles out soon.As the body healing takes time and excreting the particle waste takes its own time kindly keep patience and do gentle massage near the haematoma. Everything will be fine soon.RegardsJay Indravadan Patel
