The ability of soft tissue contusions caused by external forces to heal on their own needs to be judged by the severity of the condition. For mild soft tissue contusions, they can usually heal on their own, but more severe soft tissue contusions are difficult to heal on their own. The main symptoms of soft tissue contusions caused by external forces include pain, swelling, and functional impairment. For minor soft tissue contusions, cold compresses within 48 hours, followed by hot compresses after 48 hours, can usually heal on their own. In addition, patients can also cooperate with local acupuncture, massage and physical therapy to accelerate blood circulation and achieve the effect of swelling. If the soft tissue contusion is more serious, the soft tissue contusion can be gradually healed by using blood-vitalizing sprays and oral anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving drugs as prescribed by the doctor. During the recovery period of soft tissue contusions, patients should pay attention to dietary regimen and eat protein-rich foods such as eggs and milk in appropriate amounts to promote metabolism and accelerate soft tissue healing.
