Are hemangiomas in children serious?

Childhood hemangioma mainly refers to problems that occur in children at birth or within one to two months after birth. It often occurs near the head, face, and neck, seriously affecting the baby's appearance. With the usual patience of parents and the close cooperation of doctors, the baby can be treated very well. However, there are some more dangerous childhood hemangiomas that tend to grow in some more dangerous parts and require special attention.

1. The patient's growth peak period is from 1 to 6 months after birth, and the hemangioma growth is in a stable period after 1 year old.

2. Patients between the ages of 12 and 18 are in puberty. Due to rapid physical development, changes in hormone levels in the body can cause hemangiomas to grow rapidly. This is something parents often ask doctors in clinical practice: "I didn't notice it before, but now that the child is older, I find that it's growing very fast and is accompanied by swelling and pain."

3. Before and after marriage, especially during pregnancy and childbirth for lesbians, the original hemangioma will rapidly grow in size, and some may even become infected and rupture. There are many examples of this in clinical practice, which cause great pain to patients.

4. When women enter menopause, they sometimes unconsciously find a lump on a part of their body. In a week, it can grow to the size of a fist and have a hard texture. It is sometimes suspected to be a malignant tumor. Patients bear tremendous pressure. With age, people age and their immune function decreases. Hemangiomas can also grow rapidly at this time. Therefore, hemangioma should not be taken lightly. Once discovered, it must be treated promptly to avoid missing the best time for treatment.

Parents of children with hemangiomas should pay enough attention and realize the dangers of hemangiomas in children. For the long-term health of their children, they should first understand the child's condition, consult in detail with doctors who have rich experience in treating hemangiomas, understand the advantages and disadvantages of relevant treatment methods, and have a clear idea of ​​the situation so as to avoid detours and spend less money. In the past, many people mistakenly believed that most vascular lesions would resolve on their own within a few years after birth and did not require active intervention and treatment, which led to misdiagnosis and missed the best time for treatment, resulting in serious deformities and functional disorders. In long-term clinical observations, we found that only a very small number of strawberry hemangiomas can regress, while the others will never regress throughout their lives. Through continuous research and treatment, we found that hemangiomas should be detected early and treated in a timely manner, and the traditional view should be changed.

The treatment of pediatric hemangioma must be comprehensive. Most hemangiomas may show some erythema and capillary hemangioma symptoms in the early stages. It is best to go to a surgical hospital for a follow-up every 3 to 6 months to observe changes in size, color, and thickness.
