What are the treatments for childhood hemangiomas?

Because children are relatively young, their resistance is relatively weaker, and they are more susceptible to illness than adults. Hemangioma is a common disease among children. What causes this disease? What are the treatments for hemangioma in children? I believe that many people want to know the answer, so let’s take a look at the following content to find out.

1. Injection treatment

The treatment for this type of hemangioma in children is to inject a sclerosant into the tumor. Commonly used drugs include 5% sodium morrhuate, bleomycin, bleomycin, glucocorticoids, etc., which have the risk of causing local skin necrosis, infection, and scar formation.

2. Cryotherapy

In medicine, the cryotherapy commonly used refrigerants in the treatment of pediatric hemangiomas include liquid nitrogen, nitric oxide, dry ice, hyperbaric oxygen cryotherapy, chlorinated paraffin, etc., which are mostly used to treat superficial hemangiomas of the trunk and limbs. There are risks such as incomplete treatment, local scar formation, and color change.

3. Radiation therapy

Radiation therapy is also known as radionuclide therapy. The commonly used treatments for children's hemangiomas are 32P, 90Sr, X-rays, 60Co, etc. However, it is rarely used clinically because it has high requirements for reasonable arrangement of radiation dose and time, has a great impact on the baby's bone development, and increases the risk of cataracts and cancer.

To sum up, I believe that the majority of parents and friends must have a certain understanding of the treatment methods of children's hemangiomas. If you find that there are the above types of hemangiomas in your family, please go to the hospital in time to avoid missing the best treatment period.

Surgical treatment: Use surgical methods to remove the diseased tissue to achieve the purpose of treatment. It works well for isolated and smaller lesions. Generally speaking, the affected area has abundant blood vessels and a large amount of blood, so the amount of bleeding during surgery is extremely large, often causing severe hemorrhagic shock. A large amount of whole blood needs to be transfused during the operation, making the operation difficult and dangerous.

The above content is an introduction to the treatment methods for children's hemangioma. I believe that after reading it, everyone will have a certain understanding of this aspect. Children's hemangioma is a serious problem. I hope everyone can take good care of their children. If there is something wrong with the child, be sure to take the child to a local regular hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
