How to treat retinal hemorrhage

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Shuai
The main treatments for retinal hemorrhage include the following: 1. Medication: For patients with minor bleeding, oral medications that promote blood circulation and resolve stasis, such as carbazochrome or etamsylate, may be prescribed to facilitate absorption of the hemorrhage. Intravitreal injections of drugs such as anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents (e.g., ranibizumab) can prevent the formation of new blood vessels due to poor circulation after bleeding. 2. Laser therapy: In certain cases of hemorrhage, laser treatment of the fundus can be used to seal off bleeding blood vessels, preventing worsening hemorrhage and the development of new blood vessels. 3. Surgical treatment: For patients with severe hemorrhage, vitreous hemorrhage, or retinal detachment, surgical intervention such as vitrectomy may be required to remove blood from the back of the eye. 4. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM): Treatment with herbal formulas aimed at clearing heat, cooling the blood, and promoting blood circulation to resolve stasis may be considered, but must be administered under the guidance of a qualified TCM practitioner.
