Hematoma in scrotum after implant surgery

[Wade1958]

I Had surgery on 12/13, i developed a hematoma in the left side of my scrotum, surgeon does not seem to concerned but it is pretty large. He has me wearing a jock strap and on a heating pad 3-4 times 20 minutes per day , just wondered if anyone else has encountered something similar and would have any suggestions on speeding up the healing process . He stated it could take from 3-6 months, uughhhh ,, Wade

It takes time to reabsorb a hematoma. If the collected blood is still liquid, draining it is a good option. If congealed and presents no danger of infection (which is the usual case as I understand it) reabsorption is usually uncomplicated and the safer option. A web search found this quote,

The swelling and pain of the hematoma will go away. This takes from 1 to 4 weeks, depending on the size of the hematoma. The skin over the hematoma may turn bluish then brown and yellow as the blood is dissolved and absorbed. Usually, this only takes a couple of weeks but can last months.

thank you sir the blood is coagulated , its defiantly a slow procedure so far , but if its the safest i am definitely in for that, go back on 2/10 if its no better they will do an ultrasound . Thanks

I developed a hematoma on the shaft of penis after xiaflex. That was 9/2019. By 1/2/2020 it could not be felt. But since the implant it hurts at that point. The tunica was not broken and it just takes time to heal.

i am 3 weeks out of surgery and have a large one on top of the pump. i seen the doc at two weeks out and he said to come back in three weeks. i hate to hear this could takes months to go away. it is bothersome.

Tallboy,
Does your doc have you doing anything to try to reduce it ? Mine also encapsulated my left testical and my pump . My pump is reachable now and I can feel the bottom of my testical . So the weight of this large hematoma is pulling down on the testical cords. Wearing a jockstrap to help with taking the pressure off , I go back to doc 2/10. I seems to be a painfully slow process.

Guys,
There is hope, I have been religiously using the heating pad and hot baths for a month. I am now beginning to see some changes in the hematoma. It is definitely dissolving at a very slow pace. Stay the course it will get better. I see dr Wang on Monday hopefully he releases me to move forward with my recovery !!!

I have a hematoma in my groin (left leg at crotch, next to my genitals), which occurred after I had cardiac surgery the end of November. I was concerned that it hadn't disappeared yet, but I was assured by both the surgeon and by my cardiologist that it would take time. (I am to return for an X-ray in July.) There is no pain (thank God!), but I am aware of it whenever I wash "down there." I have been told that ice (I used frozen peas) for 10 minutes four time a day could help, and my cardiologist said that heat could help also (he didn't tell me any specifics). I am doing neither since I have been told by experts that it will go away after a while (whatever that means). I know this is not implant-related, but I thought it might be helpful.
