Should A Large Hematoma In The Tailbone Be Drained?
Hello Doctor, I was in a motorcycle accident on April 22, 2016. As a result from the fall, I have a large hematoma on my tailbone / buttock area. It hasn t reduced in size as I was told it would however, it did spread into three separate sacks and then recollected itself into one large one. I don t know whether to let it be and hope it reabsorbs or have it drained. What should I do?

Hello,
If the hematoma is not regressing in size, then it should be drained as there are chances of getting it infected. Please get it drained at the earliest.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
