Question
Many years ago, my family went for a health check-up at the hospital. All the other relatives were healthy and normal. I was the only one carefully examined and found to have a vascular malformation. The doctor didn’t prescribe any medication or suggest any treatment methods. I felt fine, so I never sought treatment. Hi doctor, what are the treatment methods for vascular malformations?
Answer
Modern treatment methods for vascular malformations and their advantages and disadvantages. 1. Cryotherapy and laser therapy, but they are only suitable for small, superficial capillary hemangiomas. 2. Hormonal treatment has some efficacy for difficult-to-treat and multiple vascular malformations in infants. However, due to the large dosage of hormones, long treatment course, obvious side effects, and unclear mechanism of treatment, caution is required. 3. Embolization therapy. Arteriovenous fistula and vascular malformation supply artery show good effects, but often require surgical treatment to completely eliminate inflammation. This situation is caused by vascular malformations, and there is currently no effective treatment method. It is recommended that you maintain a healthy lifestyle, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits in your diet, and go for periodic check-ups at the hospital.
