About Drainage of Vulval Hematoma

Drainage of a vulval hematoma is a surgical procedure performed by an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist to evacuate a collection of blood (hematoma) that has formed in the soft tissues of the vulva. This condition most commonly occurs as a complication following childbirth, particularly after an episiotomy or a perineal tear, but can also result from trauma, surgery, or in rare cases, spontaneously. The procedure involves making a small incision over the swollen, painful area to release the trapped blood, alleviate pressure, relieve severe pain, and prevent further complications like infection or tissue necrosis. It is typically performed under local or regional anesthesia in a sterile operating room setting. Prompt drainage is crucial to reduce discomfort, promote healing, and restore normal vulval anatomy and function.
