What Causes Pain Around Liver When Suffering From Liver Hemangioma?

Hello, my name is Luiza an I m 46 years old. In March-April, I was diagnosed with liver hemangioma. I never had problems or pain, it was discovered during other investigation. Recently I had a hepatitis B vaccin booster for work. I m working long hours labour work and study during nights. I only had 3 to 4 hours rest in the last 6 month. This is the third day when I feel discomfort and stabbing pain in my liver. Once again I never have serious health issues, I consider myself strong and healthy. Can this pain be linked to the vaccine or to the hemangioma and lack of sleep ? Is it necessary to see a doctor or it is fine to wait until pain goes away. Thank you Regards Luiza Russell

General Surgeon 's  Response
hi.

what's the size of your liver lesion (hemangioma)? usually, when a liver lesion reaches more than or equal to 5cm, it produces symptoms such as abdominal pain.. this pain is usually dull, intermittent, epigastric to right upper quadrant of the abdomen in location, occasionally with radiation to the back, flanks and sometimes upper back area. it is best if you consult with a general surgeon or a gastroenterologist with regards to this problem. treatment (medical and/or surgical) will be directed accordingly.

hope this helps.

good day!!
