Here is some information that may help you out.
My husband was catharized this Tuesday. The procedure went very well.
He was sent home and given the usual instructions. Donât lift, keep your
leg up, etc. That night I had to remove some of the tape from the bandage and cut some of the hairs. They had not shaved the entire area.
On Wednesday, I removed the bandage. There was only a small drop of blood on the gauze. He had 2 silver dollar size bruises; one on the groin and one on the leg.
Wednesday and Thursday went well. In fact he went back to work on Thursday.
But on Friday when he got dressed, He called me in. The bruise on the leg had grown to
about 4-5 inches long and as wide as the original coin.
We called the Doctor who told us that it is normal to get very bad bruising. Sometimes the bruising goes all the way to the knee. Just donât be too worried about bruising.
