Dr. Peng Xiaodong
People with hemangiomas are generally advised not to eat spicy or highly irritating foods, as these can stimulate the proliferation of hemangiomas and may lead to worsening of the condition. Additionally, consuming spicy and strongly irritating foods can irritate the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, it is recommended to maintain a light and easily digestible diet in daily life. If any discomfort or symptoms arise from the hemangioma, prompt medical consultation is advised; treatment options such as surgery or interventional procedures can effectively manage the condition.
