Hematoma in groin after cath

Hematoma in groin after cath

I had a heart attack on april 5. After the cath i am severly bruised on my thigh and have swelling where my leg meets my groin. It is about 8 in long and 3 in wide. They said it was a hematoma and would disipate to keep iced and stay off my feet.I never had anything like this just worried and want another opinion i guess.

Did you first have a cardiac catherization?  If yes, they put the tubing in at your groin and this causes the hematoma.
