How Can A Hepatic Hemangioma Be Treated?
Recently discovered have hepatic hemangioma. Have had 2 children via 2 IVF cycles. Hoping to have a 3rd next year with frozen embryos we have from first IVF cycle. Read that pregnancy can be a risk factor for the hemangioma. What is the prognosis for my ability to move forward with the embryo transfer and have our third baby? Please advise. Thank you.

Hi,
This hemangioma is very small and this cant cause such symptoms so hemangioma should not be treated if smaller than 10cm. Other findings and symptoms are concerning and there is obviously liver damage which should be evaluated. It may be viral hepatitis or fatty liver disease, you need to do ultrasound and check viral markers for a start. then further therapy can be planned.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
