As practice shows, every year the number of people with hemangiomas on their bodies increases significantly. Special concerns of specialists are also caused by the fact that the number of children born already with this benign tumor is growing significantly, and most of them are girls. Moreover, in each case, treatment of hemangiomas should be based on an individual approach. Only under this condition can we talk about its effectiveness.
The concept and types of hemangiomas
Today, this term is used to denote a benign tumor, which can be caused by congenital malformation, as well as adverse living conditions or injuries. There are several main types of hemangiomas:
- Mixed. They represent several tumor cells at once, which consist of various tissues and blood vessels.
- Combined. Manifested exclusively in a clinical setting and are a symbiosis of simple and cavernous hemangiomas.
- Simple. As a rule, they have a smooth surface, but in some cases they can slightly protrude above the skin. Only the upper subcutaneous capillaries are affected.
- Cavernous. They have a nodular shape and are located exclusively under the skin. Most common in newborns.
However, it should be understood that almost every person can have a hemangioma. The treatment methods in each specific situation are different and depend on the type of tumor and the stage of its formation. In any case, when it appears on the body, you should immediately contact a specialist. Only he can prescribe the correct treatment for hemangiomas, which will get rid of them as quickly and almost painlessly as possible.
Medical removal methods
The specific method for removing this benign tumor directly depends on its location. In addition, do not forget that far from all hemangiomas can and should be removed.
Doctors today mainly offer moxibustion with liquid nitrogen or laser removal. And just recently, they used surgical intervention or alcohol sclerotherapy. However, both of these methods are considered obsolete, and they are not suitable for every adult, and even less so for a child. That is why laser removal is rightfully the most effective and efficient option. This procedure is almost painless, does not require general anesthesia and takes little time. In any case, a specific treatment for hemangiomas can be prescribed only by a specialist after a comprehensive study.
If we talk about the appearance of such a tumor in a newborn, then in some cases it is removed even in the hospital. In any case, it all depends on the size and type of hemangioma. The treatment cost in each case is different. It all depends on whether a single tumor will be removed or not, in what way the operation will be performed. On average, the cost of the procedure ranges from 700 to 9000 rubles.
Alternative methods for removing hemangiomas
The existence of this benign tumor was known for a very long time, so it is not surprising that several recipes have come down to rid us of traditional healers. The most effective treatment for hemangiomas is possible using the following recipes:
- For 21 days, you need to make a bandage from a small piece of tea mushroom. Freshly removed slice is applied to the hemangioma and left for 24 hours, then the procedure is repeated again.
- Pour a glass of oats with 10 liters of water, insist 10 days and boil in the same water for half an hour. Take 100 g in the morning, lunch and evening.
These simple methods can help get rid of this tumor, but provided that it is at an initial stage. However, it is better not to try to self-medicate, but still consult a specialist.
