Suggest Natural Remedy For Liver Hemangioma

Hi, I have a liver Hemangioma, is there any way to cure it by natural medicine or diet ? I am 51yrs, 5'3, 159 pounds. I'm taking Synthroid 0.05, since January 2010, also taking Nexium 20mg for reflux. In the past I had duodenal ulcer and my gastroenterologist treated it with Prevpac for 14 days. My doctor ordered a MRI for liver and gallbladder because there is suspect for fatty liver. I will appreciate all your help. From Puerto Rico Waleska Rosado ( female) Thanks.

Hello Ms Waleska,
How are you?
A hemangioma of the liver is a fairly common finding on scans of the abdomen. Not all hemangiomas need treatment. Only large hemangiomas and symptomatic hemangiomas need any treatment. Some hemangiomas can cause a dull achy pain in the upper belly, especially the bigger ones. sometimes the hemangioma may clot and cause severe pain, or some may cause bleeding. Very rarely, they can also decrease in platelet counts.
So in summary, if the size is small and you do not have any symptoms, I would just wait and watch for now.

Hope this helped and please do not hesitate to contact me for further details - rxsuresh@gmail.com
