If the bleeding after knee surgery is a normal amount, you can usually stop it with simple measures. Here's how:
-
Elevate the surgical site: Raising your leg helps reduce blood flow to the area.
-
Apply firm pressure: Use a clean cloth or bandage and apply firm, direct pressure to the area for 20-30 minutes. Avoid getting the area wet for 24 hours, as this allows time for the incision line to seal.
