Introduction
In general, whether a liver hemangioma is dangerous depends on the specific circumstances—it may be harmless or potentially serious. If a patient's liver hemangioma is small and shows no signs of progressive enlargement during observation, it usually does not have adverse effects on the body and is therefore considered not dangerous.
In general, whether a liver hemangioma is dangerous depends on the specific circumstances—it may be harmless or potentially serious. The details are as follows:
1. Not dangerous
If a patient has a small liver hemangioma that shows no signs of progressive growth during observation, it usually does not cause adverse effects on the body. In such cases, the condition is considered not dangerous, and regular follow-up examinations at the hospital are sufficient.
2. Potentially dangerous
A liver hemangioma may become dangerous due to hormonal influences. During the course of the disease, if it causes persistent pain in the liver area that does not subside over time, the situation may be more serious. Additionally, if the hemangioma gradually increases in size and compresses nearby nerves, surgical removal of the hemangioma at a正规 medical institution may be necessary.
If a patient experiences any physical discomfort, prompt medical attention is recommended to avoid delayed treatment and potential harm to health.
