Treatment of hemangioma in children

summary

I have a cavernous hemangioma on my neck, which is cyan purple and sometimes painful. My mother said that I had it when I was born. It has brought me a lot of trouble. Recently, I went to the hospital for treatment and took a lot of drugs, which obviously improved my feeling. Let me share with you my experience in the treatment of infantile hemangioma.

Treatment of hemangioma in children

Treatment 1: cryotherapy. It is used for the treatment of small-scale superficial lesions of hemangioma. During the treatment, the volatilization of liquid nitrogen condenses the skin, hemangioma and surrounding tissues of the lesion area to form ice crystals in the cells, leading to cell rupture, disintegration and death, and then the hemangioma disappears through the process of body repair.

Treatment 2: laser treatment. It is to inject photosensitizer into patient's blood vessel first, and then irradiate hemangioma area with black light lamp or long wave band laser. After photosensitizer activation, it produces photochemical reaction and leads to the photosensitive process of vascular intima and stroma in hemangioma, resulting in vascular lumen occlusion, so as to achieve the purpose of treatment.

Treatment 3: interventional therapy. It refers to that the arteriovenous catheter is guided into the hemangioma site, and then the embolic agent is injected into the tumor to produce aseptic inflammation, so as to achieve the effect of tumor vascular occlusion. It is often used in visceral hemangioma, such as hepatic hemangioma. For deep hemangioma of trunk and limbs, it is difficult to achieve the desired effect due to the limitation of injection dose, dosage form and the characteristics of hemangioma.

matters needing attention

I also want to emphasize: prevention of urinary tract infection. If patients can urinate by themselves, they should change wet clothes, sheets and bedding in time. If the patient needs a catheter to help urinate, sterile operation should be paid attention to when cleaning the patient's urine bag, and the catheter should be replaced regularly. When helping the patient turn over, do not lift the urine bag to a level higher than the patient's lying position, so as to avoid urinary tract infection caused by urine reflux.
