The best way to stop bleeding in the upper leg is through direct pressure. Apply a thick bandage and bind this with a crepe bandage.
Elevate the leg to make it harder for the blood to pump. This controls the bleeding fairly effectively. Seek for medical attention urgently if an artery is damaged. This may cause death fast if prompt medical attention is not sought.
