Patient's question:
I have a hepatic hemangioma, and it has been two years now. In these two years, I have had two thorough examinations, and the results were the same each time. Although the doctors say it's not a major concern, it's still a disease after all, so I am quite anxious. I'm afraid that if it continues to expand, it will become more troublesome. Is a hepatic hemangioma a type of liver disease?Doctor's answer:
Hemangioma is a benign tumor, strictly speaking, it is a type of liver disease. Therefore, some behaviors that are harmful to the liver should be avoided, such as excessive smoking, drinking beer, and consuming greasy food. Liver disease is very serious, and patients are advised to seek immediate treatment. It is hoped that patients can follow their doctors' advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, attention should be paid to self-care, including proper diet, to avoid worsening the condition.
