The 26-year-old had lost her second group match against Ukraine's Maria Ulitina to crash out of the Rio Olympics.
"Saina has been hospitalised for the last two days and is undergoing treatment for her injury, which got worse during her match against Maria at Rio Olympics," Saina's father Harvir Singh told PTI.
Saina had cited an inflammation in her right knee, which hampered her on-court movement, as the reason for her shocking group league exit.
He, however, did not divulge the contents of the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan.
"The doctors have not revealed the contents of the MRI scan to me. I will be able to talk about it tomorrow, not today," Singh said.
Singh also said Saina will be flying to Mumbai for advanced checkup tomorrow.
"The doctors here have referred her case to a hospital at Mumbai, and she will be flying from Hyderabad," he said.
The World No 5 lost her second group league encounter 18-21, 19-21 to World No 61 Ulitina to crash out of the competition.
