How Can A Hematoma In The Groin Caused By An Injury Be Treated?
Hi, In most of the cases, it will resolve spontaneously without any definitive treatment. If the size is large or it is increasing in size, it has to be drained surgically. Consult a general surgeon and get evaluated. An ultrasound scan is required for further assessment. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
