How To Treat Hematoma In The Knee?

I have an 11 in hematoma on my knee. The doctors tried to drain it, but it produced very little blood. They told me that it will just take time but I ve had it for over a month. It is always warm to touch and does not appear to be decreasing in size. A blood test revealed there was no infection. Is there anything else that can be done?

Hello

It is necessary checking coagulation tests to help exclude a possible coagulation disorder. I would also recommend putting ice on it frequently. It will help stop the bleeding.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
