How to treat hemangioma? Four must-know treatments

Hemangioma is a common vascular disease in life, and in most cases it is caused by congenital factors. The main sites of disease occurrence are the blood vessels in the face and mouth. When it comes to treating hemangiomas, the best treatment method needs to be selected based on different conditions. Patients should actively receive treatment and never give up.

1. Surgical treatment: Use surgical methods to remove the damaged tissue to achieve the treatment goal. 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. At the same time, since the blood cannot be completely removed after bleeding, the operation is forced to be terminated, and the postoperative recurrence rate is very high. After surgical removal of part of the tumor, local deformity, loss and functional impairment may remain.

2. Cryotherapy: This method of treating hemangiomas originated in the 1960s (it can be used for small-scale superficial lesions as appropriate). The operator uses the extreme low temperature (-96°C) caused by the volatilization of liquid nitrogen, which is usually below -20°C, to condense the skin, hemangioma and tissues around the lesion area, forming ice crystals in the cells, causing the cells to rupture, disintegrate and die, and then the hemangioma disappears through the body's repair process. However, this method will leave local scars, and often leave serious defects, deformities and functional disorders after treatment of the eyes, corners of the mouth, nose tip and ears.

3. Radiation and isotope therapy: The principle of treatment is to use the R-rays produced by radioactive elements to bombard the nuclei of tissue cells in the affected area to break the DNA and RNA chains, terminate the synthesis of nucleoproteins, cause cell death and disintegration, and then achieve the treatment goal through the tissue repair process. Commonly used methods in clinical practice include: superficial X-ray irradiation, local irradiation with cobalt 60, external application of strontium 40 film, local injection of phosphorus 32 colloid, etc. After treatment, the treated area is left with atrophic scars due to radiation damage and the epidermis has desquamation.

4. Sclerotherapy injection: This method originated in the 1950s and evolved from the injection therapy for hemorrhoids. The principle is: inject the sclerosis into the hemangioma tissue (not into the blood vessels), causing aseptic inflammation. After the swelling disappears, a local fibrosis reaction occurs, causing the hemangioma and blood vessel cavity to shrink or become blocked.
