Are my staples in my head wound supposed to bleed?!
Question: Are my staples in my head wound supposed to bleed!?
I had a tree limb hit me in the head today and caused a very deep gash and 5 staples!. That was about 4 hours ago and my head is throbbing and the spot is weeping blood, but not gushing like it was earlier!. The doctor didn't speak about concussions or what was supposed to happen in the meanwhile and I wasn't given any sort of paperwork or told how to clean the spot!. I have no idea what to do at this point!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hello, what doctor or hospital did you go to!?!. call them back and say they weren't complete with there instructions, and describe what procedure you had done and tell them what is occuring!. You may need to go back!. Yould will need a follow up appointment to have the staples removed and don't want to get an infection!. They should have told you not to get any of this area wet, which means no shampooing your hair!.The should have gave you some sort of pain medication and told you to watch for fever that could result from this injury!.!. Did they even take X-rays !?Tiny drops or weeping is normal since the blood has not fully coagulated yet!.!. but sounds like next time you should see someone who has a better reputaion than whomever you saw this time!.and find out who or what clinic or doctor is going to take the staples out and how long there supposed to stay in !.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Bleeding after getting stitches or staples is normal!. Especially with head wounds, as they tend to bleed alot!. The blood will clot eventually!.The reason you're noticing it is there is no dressing on it!. If you have abdominal surgery and have staples, it always bleeds after, but it's not as noticable because of the bandages on it!.
Make sure you keep the area dry!. No washing hair! Take some tylenol for the headache!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
