Question
I am 45 years old, and recently I’ve been feeling unwell while at work. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said I have a hepatic hemangioma, and I’m very scared that I might need surgery. I want to ask the doctor, what should I do about the hepatic hemangioma?
Answer
This also depends on the size of the hemangioma. If the hemangioma is relatively small and less than 5 millimeters in size, it usually does not require special treatment. It’s important to observe it and have regular follow-ups. If the hemangioma is larger than 5 millimeters, it can be treated with minimally invasive surgery, such as interventional surgery, which can also help control the disease. Pay attention to observing it daily and have regular check-ups.
