I've had multiple caths, and sometimes I had little bruising, but once I had bruising that extended down to my knee. When I got the huge bruise, it went away within a week or so. I'm betting it is a benign situation, but do check with your doctor. I hope the procedure resulted in good news.
Hi Hubbert,
Yes, it is absolutely normal and it should be completely gone in about a week's time. When they take the catheter out they apply a lot of pressure to that area to stop the bleeding.
You will also have a bit of a lump/bump in the groin area for about 3 months! not painful, but you will feel it.
i am not sure with that because that is normal but please check with your doctor he would know best
