Question
A senior was diagnosed with a hemangioma. Can they choose not to undergo treatment? Considering the patient’s age, is it still appropriate to receive medical intervention?
Answer
Hemangioma is a benign lesion and not a true tumor. Whether or not to treat it should be determined based on the size of the hemangioma. If the hemangioma is small in size and does not present with obvious clinical symptoms, treatment may not be necessary, but regular check-ups are required. If the hemangioma is larger, surgical treatment can be considered. It is recommended to consult with a doctor and seek symptomatic treatment at a large hospital’s vascular department.
