Is hepatic hemangioma serious?

Hepatic hemangiomas are generally not serious and in most cases are benign tumors that do not pose a significant threat to health, but they do require regular monitoring.

Hepatic hemangioma is the most common benign liver tumor, formed by abnormal proliferation of liver blood vessels. The cause of its formation is not yet fully understood, and it may be related to genetics, hormone levels, etc. Many people find it during physical examinations, often without any symptoms.

If the hepatic hemangioma is small, no special treatment is generally required and you can live with it peacefully like an "invisible roommate". However, if the tumor is large, symptoms such as fullness and discomfort in the right upper abdomen and nausea may occur, and even in rare cases, there is a risk of bleeding. In addition, its growth may be affected by external stimulation and hormonal changes in the body.

It is recommended to have regular abdominal ultrasound or MRI examinations to evaluate tumor changes. If the size increases significantly or is accompanied by symptoms, you should seek medical attention in time and let a professional doctor decide whether treatment or surgical intervention is needed. At the same time, avoid blindly believing in unverified folk remedies.
