Question

A long-term drinker has been diagnosed with a liver hemangioma. How should it be treated?

Answer

Liver hemangiomas are usually benign. If the tumor is small, no special treatment is usually required. If the tumor is large, surgical removal may be considered. Regardless of whether surgery is performed, patients should avoid excessive alcohol consumption, maintain a normal lifestyle, and regularly check liver function. If liver function is impaired, it is recommended to take liver-protecting medication. In daily life, it is important to rest adequately and avoid eating spicy and irritating foods.
