What Do My Lab Test Report Indicate?
I have been battling stomach pains for over a year now. Been to specialist ,done CT scan and MRI and they found that I have Hemangioma on my liver that measures 3.9X 3.5 c.m. spanning segements 6 and 7. Could that be the reason why my stomach hurts? There is no other signs the specialists say. Its hurts in the middle ,sometimes when its at its worse it hurts from left to right , like across. I just want this pains to stop. I feel bloated sometimes, never nauseous , sometimes if I eat it numbs the pain or drink red wine or coffee. What do you think I should do ?

Hello and welcome to HCM,
A hemangioma in liver remains asymptomatic in large number of cases and it becomes symptomatic when it undergoes secondary changes like hemorrhage.
The other reason for pain is probably stretching of the liver capsule due to pressure.
Any other cause of the symptoms should also be looked for.
Bloating sensation and relief of pain after drinking wine or coffee is probably not associated with hemangioma.
These symptoms are more pertaining to stomach.
If these symptoms are associated with gastritis, gastro-esophageal reflux, regurgitation etc then I suggest you to consult a gastroenterologist for an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.
Thanks and take care
