I had a liver hemangioma removed five years ago and it still hurts a lot. What should I do?
If a patient still experiences pain five years after surgical removal of a liver hemangioma, attention should be paid, and further examinations should be completed to rule out other diseases.
Generally, patients with hemangiomas do not experience significant discomfort after removal, and there are no obvious sequelae. Therefore, if discomfort occurs, it is important to conduct thorough examinations as soon as possible to identify the cause and treat it accordingly. For instance, liver diseases like cirrhosis, hepatitis, and liver cancer can all manifest as upper right abdominal pain. At this point, it is necessary to differentiate among these causes and treat accordingly. If the patient has liver cancer, early surgical removal should be performed to achieve better treatment outcomes.
