Suggest Treatment For Haematoma With Bruises On The Buttocks Region

I have a large haematoma after a fall backwards down stairs, it is on my right buttock there is lots of bruising but also this large hard swollen area and I m finding it difficult to sit down. This happened 10 days ago and no better and I am due to fly home in 5 days. I also split my head open and had 8 stitches which have now been removed. I am worried about the 4 hour flight home.

Unfortunately there is no quick treatment for hematomas. The good news is that your body will slowly reabsorb the hematoma over time. If you develop any additional symptoms like fever, weakness, or nausea, you should be evaluated in person by a physician. Very rarely, hematomas can become infected.
