Suggest Treatment For Liver Hemangioma
Hi Doctor My mom is a 41 years old lady who currently lives in China. Two years ago, she had an surgery, X-ray surgery to remove the liver hemangioma, which was on the surface. However, the condition got worse. The hemangioma continued growing and now is 66x20 mm big. We regreted having the surgery because it got much worse after it. I wonder if there is any health product or supplement that can help with liver hemangioma. Also, is there any other advise? I am very thankful of your help and advise.

Hello,
Hemangioma is a benign (harmless) condition and in most cases, it will not cause any problem. Surgical intervention is required when it is symptomatic and in cases of bleeding.
If you are asymptomatic, the only followup is required to look for any rapid increase in size. Consult a gastroenterologist and he will direct you accordingly. You can opt for newer techniques like embolization.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
