Hi I am worried about my husband a month ago he felt at washroom without knowing what happening so I found him on the floor and head beside the shower wall glasses after all he has a bump at back of head so I don t know it came from that or something else? Please help me what to do what do you think is a big problem or not.

Hello,

Very likely it is not something to worry. Bumps can develop in areas we hurt ourselves and need no special attention. On the other hand, there is a chance that the bump was there before he fell and hurt the head but it came to his and your attention after he fell and bumped the head in that area.

To make sure though I would say it is always better to go and see the doctor and have a better understanding what is that bump and if further attention is needed. As I said very likely the bump was there previously and having it checked is a good idea.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
