A hematoma, or haematoma, is a collection of blood, generally the result of hemorrhage, or, more specifically, internal bleeding. Hematomas exist as bruises (ecchymoses), but can also develop in organs.
It is not to be confused with hemangioma.
Hematomas can gradually migrate, as the effused cells and pigment move in the connective tissue. For example, a patient who injures the base of his thumb might cause a hematoma which will slowly move all through the finger within a week. Gravity is the main determinant of this process.
Hematomas on articulations can reduce mobility of a member and present roughly the same symptoms as a fracture.Vaginal hematoma can be either
with sexual abuse or from any injury etc
but here's one story. I went boating this past weekend and was climbing from one boat to another - climbing over the boats metal rub rail (the railing on most bigger boats) and my foot slipped, free falling right on my vagina. OUCH! It swelled up to the size of an ORANGE. I'm not kidding. An orange. This happened Thursday night and this is now Tuesday night. After I iced it all night (put-in-bay Ohio does not have any doctors or hospitals on the island) and went to the ER the next day on the main land. The ER doctor said it's a blood pocket or hematoma, and he didn't want to drain it bc of infection in that area with a hole being poked. The swelling for the most part has gone down, I'm just dealing with a Golf ball size blood pocket on my libia and the inside area (just below my clit). When will this go away??? When should I get worried? I don't have insurance, and I'm having trouble seeing an OBGYN because I'm a new patient everywhere I go. I normally see the doctor at "Planned Parenthood" for my routine checkups. What do I do? I've been icing it everyday almost 20 hours a day just bc it makes it feel good - but now it's almost like my lips are chapped from the cold. I also got a Sitz bath and have been sitting in that for 20 minutes warm water. I just want to know how long this will take to go away and how the heck can a blood pocket just disappear"
