Not a single person is immune from the disease, and at least once in his life, but has encountered an injection procedure.
It is very effective in treatment, but side effects are also present.
So, after a course of injection, a subcutaneous seal may form on the buttock at the injection site.
Such cones are called painful hematomas that appear after injections of antibiotics or other liquid drugs.
To alleviate your condition, it is important to start acting immediately after the procedure. Typically, such seals dissolve themselves, but if the inflamed cones do not disappear for a month or more, then it is necessary to be examined by a surgeon.
Causes of cones after injections
Cones after injections can occur in any person, regardless of age or gender. The appearance of such a problem can provoke:
1) the wrong size of the syringe needle. Using a short needle, the medicine may not get into the muscle where it should, but under the skin of the adipose tissue, where it cannot dissolve. From this, painful seals arise.
2) when injected, the drug is not deeply injected. Unprofessionally giving an injection with the best intentions, in order to deliver less pain to the patient, the needle is not injected deep enough, the medicine gets under the skin and a lump is formed.
3) muscles in an overstressed state. Before injecting, the doctor always recommends lying down and relaxing the muscles. Otherwise, if the drug is introduced into an overstressed muscle, it will be distributed unevenly and a hematoma will occur.
4) the use of the injection method - cotton. It is believed that it reduces pain during the injection. At a right angle, with a quick and sharp movement, the needle is inserted into the muscle, the medicine is quickly administered and removed. In this case, the drug does not have time to evenly distribute, as a result of which a bump appears.
5) accidental damage to blood vessels. If during the injection the needle falls into such a place, then a dark red seal forms.
6) trauma to nerve endings. If the injection was made with a needle incorrectly inserted, discomfort in the legs and numbness of the gluteal muscles may appear. Sciatic nerve damage may require medical attention.
