What should be done about a newborn's cranial hematoma?

Patient's question:

Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:
At the hospital, it was found that I am lacking Vitamin K, have severe anemia, and there is a bit too much bleeding in the cranial cavity. I am only 1 month and 7 days old now. Could the doctor control it so that it doesn't bleed anymore?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, most cases of intracranial hemorrhage in newborns are treated conservatively. If necessary, hematoma puncture and aspiration can be used to promote hematoma drainage. In the long term, post-hemorrhage is prone to cause hydrocephalus. It is necessary to dynamically monitor ventricular changes. Regular cranial CT or MRI examinations are helpful for early detection and avoiding delayed treatment. Due to neonatal hypoxia, birth canal compression, or a lack of vitamin K1 and other bleeding causes, intracranial hemorrhage is relatively common in neonatology.
