From hematomas - local hemorrhages in the tissue - no one is safe. In everyday life, it is easy to get a bruise or injury in a hurry. If the hematoma is characterized by a large size and increasing edema, but is located on the head, you should immediately consult a doctor. In other cases, hematomas can be treated independently.
First aid
So, if you are injured, do not waste time and immediately attach a cold object to the hematoma. Ideally, this is ice, but in its absence, any products from the freezer, as well as a cold spoon and any copper object (for example, a coin) will do. Copper cools very quickly, so just put it in the freezer for 3 minutes and then attach it to the hematoma for 10 minutes. During this time, blood vessels narrow as much as possible, which will stop the flow of blood into the damaged area and reduce the size of the hemorrhage. Applying cold objects for more than 30 minutes does not make sense, and your further actions should be directed to treatment.
Medical assistance
Treatment with hematomas with drugs gives a quick effect, but subject to their frequent application to the affected area of ​​the body. The action of these drugs is based on their ability to reduce tissue edema, reduce the permeability of blood vessels and have a resolving effect. The heparin ointment ointment has a good therapeutic effect. In case of timely treatment and application of the drug 4-5 times a day, the hematoma disappears in 2 days. Its analogues are the preparations “Venoruton”, “Lyoton”, “Hepatrombin”. Treatment with hematomas with homeopathic remedies "Traumeel" and "Arnica" gives the greatest effect if they are used immediately after getting a bruise. They quickly stop hemorrhage and an increase in swelling, increase vascular tone, reduce their permeability and stop pain. In addition, they have a healing effect, which makes it possible to use them on open wounds. Another recommended remedy - cream “Rescuer” - contains terpinols, which have a wound healing and hemostatic effect, as well as antiseptics - silver colloids.
ethnoscience
In addition to drugs, hematomas can be treated using traditional medicine. Fresh cabbage juice acts like pharmacological preparations. Take a cabbage leaf, pass it through a meat grinder and attach to the damaged area for 20 minutes. If the procedure is carried out 3 times a day, the hematoma will disappear after 3 days. A honey compress has a similar property. To prepare it, take a tablespoon of vegetable oil and honey, egg yolk and half a teaspoon of flour. Mix all the ingredients, apply to the hematoma, cover with plastic wrap and leave for 3-4 hours. Do a compress 2 times a day for 3 days.
Among the remedies for hematomas, the leading position belongs to the bodyga - a freshwater sponge. Lotions of 2 teaspoons of body powder and 1 teaspoon of water can eliminate hemorrhage in 4 hours. But for this it is necessary to do at least 2-3 procedures. Pay special attention to the fact that self-repair of head hematomas is contraindicated. Treatment of brain contusion should be carried out under the strict supervision of a physician.
