Patient's question:
These days, I've been feeling a constant tightness in my back, which is particularly uncomfortable. Since yesterday, it's been burning and aching. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the result was a back angioma. The doctor said it's a relief that the tumor isn't very large. I'd like to ask if this condition necessarily requires surgery? If treated with medication, can it be cured?Doctor's answer:
A hemangioma is a benign lesion, which generally does not significantly affect the health of the body in most cases. If the current size of the hemangioma is not large, surgical treatment is not necessary, and regular follow-up can be performed. Maintain a light diet and avoid consuming various irritants and other foods. If the hemangioma gradually increases, minimally invasive surgical treatment is generally required. Medication is largely ineffective, and it is recommended to follow the doctor's advice for appropriate treatment based on the current condition.
