Are There Ways To Prevent The Development Of Lipoma On My Body?
Question: I am developing too many lipoma on my body. There were few initially but i can feel lipoma growing in many areas. I have visited doctor and they have ruled out cancer possibility by lab test. How do control lipoma on my body? Is there any specific diet, i can follow to cure myself.
Brief Answer:
No specific causes...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Lipoma are benign tumors. Besides genetic and hereditary factors, there are no other known causes. So I am sorry no changes to your diet or life style will prevent lipoma.
Furthermore, until now surgical removal is the most effective treatment. If you do not wish to undergo surgery, you may discuss about liposuction or steroid injections. They could regress the lump to a certain extent. But whether or not it will be significant regression can only be determined by the treating doctor.
Hope this answered your questions. Let me know if you need clarifications.
Regards
