A subungual hematoma occurs when blood collects under the nail, typically after trauma, causing pressure, pain, and discoloration. At Sanavital Medical Center in Doral, FL, we offer quick and effective subungual hematoma evacuation to relieve the discomfort and prevent complications. Our team ensures the procedure is safe and minimizes damage to the nail.
We carefully assess the severity of the hematoma and, if needed, use specialized techniques to drain the blood. This reduces pain and allows the nail to heal properly. Whether the hematoma is from an injury or repetitive stress, you can trust Sanavital Medical Center to provide the relief you need.
During the procedure, our specialists at Sanavital Medical Center use a small needle or heated instrument to make a tiny hole in the nail, allowing the trapped blood to drain. This quick process reduces the pressure, alleviates pain, and promotes healing. In severe cases, if the nail is significantly damaged, we may recommend additional care to prevent further complications.
Following the procedure, most patients experience immediate relief from pain and pressure. The nail may take a few weeks to heal fully, depending on the severity of the hematoma. At Sanavital Medical Center, we provide detailed aftercare instructions and schedule follow-up appointments if necessary to ensure optimal healing and prevent any complications.
