If a bruise appears on the chest, you should immediately consult a doctor and undergo a full medical examination, since hemorrhage in the chest often provokes the development of pathologies. A hematoma is the most common bruise that can occur in everyone. Any, even minor injury, can cause severe harm to the general state of human health. Therefore, you do not need to be careless.
For what reasons can a hematoma appear?
Hemorrhage in the human body can occur under the influence of various factors, but most often appears due to a stroke. As medical practice shows, most often a bruise on the chest appears due to a bruise. Accumulation of blood in a certain place can lead to the development of painful edema. If small vessels are damaged, the hemorrhage stops without medical attention.
You should know that blood is a breeding ground for the propagation of harmful microorganisms. That is why caution must be exercised after an injury. It is important that infections do not enter the body.
If the infection gets into the breast tissue, suppuration may appear. In this case, you should immediately seek help from a specialist. A mammologist can help solve such problems. In frequent cases, with the appearance of a bruise on the chest, there are no complications, but sometimes the nipple or areola is damaged. In this case, the woman has incredible pain. Very dangerous are hematomas that are formed due to damage to many vessels.
Symptoms of hematoma
Bruises form on the human body from early childhood, so almost everyone knows what a hematoma is. Despite this, you should familiarize yourself with the main symptoms of hematoma of the mammary glands. These include:
- Deep or subcutaneous hemorrhage, which appeared due to damage to the capillaries. Such a hematoma has a clear outline. Thanks to the cell regeneration process, bruises lose their saturated color over time and gradually resolve. In rare cases, a necrotic wound forms at the site of the bruise. If infections get into the blood that has spilled out, then this can provoke the development of a rapid inflammatory process.
- Due to trauma to the mammary gland, women feel soreness and swelling in the damaged area. Unpleasant sensations are capable of delivering discomfort to their mistress for a long time. If the milky ducts and nipples are damaged, a clear liquid or other secretions are often released. In this case, it is important to immediately contact a mammologist.
- The shape of the mammary glands is deformed if the blood cells are transformed into tissue compounds.
One of the main symptoms of a bruise on the chest is a change in the shade of the skin in the injured place. This is due to hemorrhage.
Common reason
In some cases, hematomas appear on the mammary glands after a puncture, but still this phenomenon is very rare. In frequent cases, such a hemorrhage does not threaten life, does not cause the development of serious consequences. A pathological change can only occur if elementary hygiene rules are violated.
If it is necessary to conduct a biopsy of the mammary glands, it is important to properly prepare for this process. Most often, doctors recommend not taking aspirin and drugs that relate to anticoagulants a week before the procedure. This will positively affect blood coagulation.
In that case, if you do not follow the basic rules of a biopsy, the wall of the mammary glands is often injured. As medical practice shows, a breast biopsy is a fairly harmless process. If after this procedure liquid discharge comes out of the wound, then do not worry - this is a normal phenomenon that does not require surgical intervention. If bruises appear on the chest, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the methods of their treatment.
Thanks to the puncture, it is possible to accurately determine the nature of the neoplasms. Using the procedure, you can determine if cancer cells are present. Based on the result of the analysis, the doctor prescribes an effective therapy. Due to a bruise in the chest, a bruise can cause severe discomfort. In this case, it is important to familiarize yourself with the methods of treatment.
Home Therapy
Hematoma can be reduced at home. To do this, use compresses or special absorbable ointments that are sold in any pharmacy. If harmful microorganisms have entered the bloodstream, then the woman has severe pain in the chest area, and her body temperature rises. In this case, the drugs should be prescribed exclusively by a mammologist or gynecologist.
To avoid the unpleasant consequences of the procedure, it is important to observe basic hygiene and antiseptic rules. If you take into account these doctor's recommendations, then a dark blue spot will not appear. A bruise on the chest is undesirable to treat independently. Doctors do not recommend buying any drugs at the pharmacy on their own and self-medicating, since most often this only aggravates the course of the disease. Before starting therapy, it is important to have a medical examination. He will prescribe a suitable and effective treatment in your case.
Treatment process
If a woman injured her breast, then it is necessary to immediately fix the affected area using bandages. Damaged mammary glands must be immobilized and slightly raised. It is important to apply cold to an injured area. Doctors recommend the use of special compresses using ice. The compress should be kept for about 25 minutes. Thanks to a simple reception, hemorrhage can be stopped, because cold activates the process of vasoconstriction. In addition, pain will decrease.
You should know that ice compresses do not need to be kept for a long time when a bruise appears on the chest in women. Otherwise, it may damage the skin. To prevent hypothermia, it is necessary to remove ice from the chest from time to time, and then apply it again. If during the stroke the nipple is damaged, and the woman has a pain shock, it is necessary to take an anesthetic. Doctors are of the opinion that No-spa is the best pain medication that does not cause side effects and effectively eliminates unpleasant sensations.
If the pain has not disappeared, it is important to immediately seek help from a specialist. In special cases, medical workers anesthetize the mammary glands by introducing novocaine into the muscle tissue. After novocaine treatment, the soreness should decrease, and the development of the hematoma will stop.
Only after anesthesia does the doctor begin conservative therapy. The specialist appoints:
- ultrasound treatment;
- the doctor applies Troxevasin ointment or Heparin ointment to an injured place.
It is important to rub the ointment with smooth and massaging movements. After a few hours, the pain will subside a little.
If the bruise on the chest is yellow, then this may indicate that a long time has passed after the injury. Doctors are of the opinion that the hematoma changes color over time - this is a normal physiological reaction of the body.
