Re: what about a hemangioma?

Happy New Year d-

If the diagnoses are correct then it doesn’t appear to be that bad and it should be OK to liver flush. Both of the conditions you have mentioned appear to be related to estrogen. If you are a woman then this may be useful information otherwise it is more difficult to explain.

Hemangioma

A hemangioma is a benign (non-cancerous) tumor consisting of dilated blood vessels. When a hemangioma occurs in the liver it is called a hepatic hemangioma. It is the most common non-cancerous tumor of the liver and called “cavernous hemangiomas”. It is believed to be a congenital (present at birth or inherited) defect, and is usually not discovered until medical pictures are taken of the liver for some other reason.

Cavernous hemangiomas, can occur at anytime, but are most common in the 30s to 50s. Women are affected much more often than men.

Hemangiomas may cause bleeding or interfere with organ function, depending on their location. Most cavernous hemangiomas do not show symptoms. In rare cases, a cavernous hemangioma may rupture. (The only symptom may be an enlarged liver.)

Most cavernous hepatic hemangiomas are treated only if there is persistent pain.

Pregnancy and estrogen-based medications, birth control pill, HRT, some steroids, can cause cavernous hemangiomas to grow.

Hepatic adenoma

Although relatively rare, its incidence seems to have increased over the past few decades since the introduction and widespread use of oral contraceptives (incidence 3 to 4/100,000 long-term oral contraceptive users). It has also been associated with the use of anabolic steroids and is a complication of some types of glycogen (carbohydrate) storage disease. This tumor occurs almost exclusively in adult women. Most female patients with adenoma have a history of oral contraceptive use, either current or remote. The duration of oral contraceptive use in such patients is variable and may even have been as short as 1 to 2 years.

Have you ever seen someone with a strawberry birth mark? We the growth is like that.

Now you know what it is you can take control and set about your own cure. You need to review all your medications to see if they are a problem. Anabolic Steroids (some creams for acne) could in theory make things worse.

A flushing regime for this brand new year may be a great way forward in starting to restore the balance in your body.
