What Is The Medical Treatment For A Hematoma?

I had a skiing accident that caused a hematoma on about 50% of my hip a little over 10 years ago. My hip started to bother me when I laid on it about 6 months ago. Now the pain is to the point I cannot sit for more than 15 minutes with out my hip, knee, leg, and feet aching and sometimes get a warm sensation where the hematoma was. There is still a bump on my hip where the bruise was. I also never had any procedure for the hematoma. Should I see a doctor asap or am I ok waiting for my appointment with my general doctoc?

Hello
Welcome to HCM,

Due to blunt injury there can be hematoma collection.The bleeding that occurs result in hematoma collection. Over a period of time, as hematoma resolves it cause local skin symptoms around the hematoma.

I would suggest you to apply ice and thrombhophobe ointment will help and take adequate rest.

If required you may need to do blood investigation for prognosis and recovery.
Take precaution to avoid infection around hematoma.

If it continues to trouble I would suggest you to consult orthopaedician for further evaluation and treatment.
Thank you.
