Answer

Hemangiomas are benign tumors that usually do not cause significant harm to the body. However, they can mainly affect: facial hemangiomas may affect appearance, hemangiomas on major organs may affect the development and function of surrounding organs, and hemangiomas in important areas should prevent rupture and bleeding to avoid severe hemorrhage. In daily life, you can eat normally, try to avoid strenuous exercise to prevent tumor rupture and bleeding. Patients with hemangiomas should pay attention to dietary adjustment, maintain good dietary hygiene, and supplement nutrition.
