How Can A Hematoma On The Buttocks Be Treated?

I fell down the stairs over a week ago and I have bruising (that’s getting better) and a huge lump that won’t go away on my right buttock. I had an X-ray and nothing is broken. Now there is tingling down my right leg. Lump is the side of my palm and hard. What could it be and how can I treat it?

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Hematoma is nothing but a collection of blood outside blood vessel. It will get resolved even without any treatment. If the swelling remains in same size even after one week, you have to intervene. Get an ultrasound scan to look for any abscess formation or vessel injury. Anti inflammatory drugs like Seratiopeptidase can provide a faster recovery. If the swelling persists for long then better to consult a general surgeon and get evaluated.

Wishing you good health.

Thanks.
