How long does it take for epidural bleeding to be absorbed?

Accidents often happen in life. For some patients who suffer epidural hemorrhage due to accidents, they should go to the hospital for regular treatment in time, so that they can recover faster and ensure their life safety. If patients want to recover faster, they should control their diet and eat more light food. So how long will it take for epidural hemorrhage to be absorbed?

First, how long does it take for epidural bleeding to be absorbed? In this case, we need to consider the amount of bleeding. Generally speaking, it usually takes about four weeks. During these 28 days. A head CT scan is required every week to confirm the diagnosis and check the recovery status of the disease. Then see if it is necessary to actively adjust the treatment method. If the epidural hematoma is caused by trauma, it is recommended to undergo surgical removal of the hematoma, as this can shorten the course of the disease. Through conservative medical treatment, the hematoma is slowly absorbed, which is a relatively slow process. Once the hematoma expands, it may even worsen the condition.

Second, although a CT scan of the brain is performed after an external impact, immediate infusion therapy cannot control local bleeding. However, since the amount of bleeding is small, conservative treatment can be considered. Active treatment and prevention are recommended. It is recommended that you keep warm, avoid catching cold, avoid moving the patient and walking on the ground, etc. It is best to have regular brain CT scans. If the hematoma does not continue to increase after 3-5 days, you do not need to worry too much. Can be treated conservatively. It usually takes 4-6 weeks for the hematoma to be completely absorbed. In the later stages of rehabilitation, Chinese medicine and acupuncture can be considered as an aid.

Third, extradural bleeding is mainly caused by trauma. Generally, if the hematoma is not large, there will be no obvious symptoms, at most a little headache. However, one characteristic of this trauma is that the bleeding is slow. Some people may have severe bleeding only after being injured for more than ten days and then have symptoms. Therefore, the meaning of hospitalization is mainly to observe whether there is still bleeding. If you want to be discharged from the hospital, it is best to check a CT scan of the head first to see if some of the bleeding has been absorbed. The main recommendation for hospitalization is to observe whether bleeding will occur again. Some patients may have worsening bleeding one month after the trauma. It is best to have a head CT scan first. If you are discharged from the hospital, pay attention to worsening headaches and nausea and vomiting and go to the hospital as soon as possible.

How long does it take for epidural bleeding to be absorbed? The amount of bleeding is not large, so bed rest and general treatment are the main treatment. Generally, patients need to stay in bed for 1-2 weeks, and pay attention to observe vital signs, consciousness, and pupil changes. Most patients can work normally after a few weeks. It is recommended that you stay in the hospital for a few more days for observation and then be discharged for recuperation after the hematoma is absorbed.
