Hello,
With the question “What medicine should I take with hemangiomas in the liver? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Hemangiomas have a rather characteristic image on ultrasound. However, to rule out some other liver tumors, parasitic diseases of the liver (helminthiasis). Patients need to see a specialist in Gastroenterology and Hepatobiliary Medicine for advice on doing some more tests such as: AFP, serological diagnosis of liver flukes, in some necessary cases, liver computed tomography can be performed. When examining the doctor, the doctor will ask for more information about the history of liver injury, previous liver diseases, diet, family history of liver disease, ...
Liver hemangiomas do not need drug treatment but need to be monitored by ultrasound every 3 - 6 months and when there are abnormal signs.
If you still have questions about hemangiomas in the liver, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
