Question
A recent patient has been feeling discomfort in their back and upon examination, was found to have a back hemangioma, with the tumor being relatively small. The patient wants to know if this condition requires surgical treatment, or if medication alone can achieve a cure?
Answer
Hemangiomas are generally considered a benign condition with minimal impact on overall health. If the hemangioma is not large, it typically does not require immediate surgery and can be monitored regularly. It is recommended to maintain a light diet and avoid consuming irritating foods. If the hemangioma shows signs of growth, minimally invasive surgery may be considered. As for medication therapy, its effectiveness is usually limited, so it is advised that patients follow their doctor’s professional advice to choose the most suitable treatment method.
