WHEN DOES A HEMATOMA NEED TO BE DRAINED?
A hematoma refers to a pooling of blood in the surrounding tissues after an injury to the blood vessels. An injury to small blood vessels is called a bruise, whereas if larger blood vessels are involved, it is termed a hematoma. A hematoma is generally associated with pain and swelling. Injuries occurring in capillaries, veins, or arteries can form hematomas.
