Lipoma – what is it?
What is Lipoma, whether she is dangerous how to recognize it. What methods of its treatment can offer modern traditional and traditional medicine
Lipoma is customary called mobile benign neoplasm consisting mainly of adipose tissue. In the people, it is called wen. Such a tumor can meet from representatives of both sexes of any age, but the most common in women in the age of 30.
Lipoma, as a rule, does not represent any serious danger to human health, so its treatment is usually carried out in purely aesthetic purposes.
Views
The adipose tissue is the main component of the lipoma, but sometimes there can be a connecting or any other fabric in the neoplament. Most often, the fat consists of several segments surrounded by a shell, which separates it from all other tissues.
Allocate various types of this new formation, depending on their composition and location, namely:
Lipophibrome – very soft to the touch tumor, which includes predominantly adipose tissue;- Fibrous – Much more dense neoplasm, in which in addition to fat, there are fragments of connective tissue;
- Miolypoma – buggy on the appearance of a tumor consisting of fatty and muscular fabric;
- Angiolypoma – a tumor in which there is a large number of capillaries.
On the human body, the lipom is formed mainly in places where the most fat accumulates: on the back, neck, abdomen and t.D. The neoplasm can reach almost any sizes and to be different density.
Pretty rarely fivo occurs on the surface of any internal organs. So, in women sometimes there is a breast lipom, which accounts for about 10% of all nodular neoplasms.
In medical circles, there is an opinion that fatter in lactic glands arises due to the blockage of the output tube of the rowing gland, but there is no accurate confirmation.
Every woman is important to know that the mammary lipom may present a serious threat to health, because this type of wiring can be reborn into the cancer Novo formation – Liposarcoma.
In addition to the breast, it is quite rarely a fat that can occur on other internal organs, such as light, brain, in the gastrointestinal tract. Much more often occurs subcutaneous lipom, which looks like a rather mobile seal, very reminiscent of the Mandarin.
It is believed that the fat tick formed under the skin cannot be transformed into a malignant tumor, so its treatment can be shown only at large neoplasm sizes when it begins to deliver tangible discomfort. It should be known that with different injuries, even Subcutaneous neoplasm able to reborn in liposarcom.
Causes of occurrence
To date, there is not so many scientific justification that would explain the emergence of this education.
So, the causes of the occurrence of wen is considered:
blockage of sebaceous glands;- intensive growth of fat cells on a particular body of a person;
- violation of certain metabolic processes, including emerging failures in the work of the gallbladder and liver;
- The folk healers have established that lipoms appear due to the large accumulation of slags and toxins in the human body.
As for the last item, it is quite natural, because today’s food does not boast of their purity and environmental friendliness.
In addition, a sedentary lifestyle, non-compliance with the rules of healthy nutrition and the day of the day contributes to the fact that the activities of the gastrointestinal tract decreases, and all possible slags simply do not have time to excrete out of the body. Their oversufficer is postponed in the so-called peripheral zone, which in the human body is fat fabric under the skin.
Depending on the initial cause of occurrence, lipomas can be solid or multiple. In the latter case, we can talk about the disease called lipomatosis.
Signs
That there was a lipom on the body of a person, and not some other type of tumor will be evidence of very characteristic symptoms. Subcutaneous fat will have the form of a moving, soft or dense, elastic and absolutely painless education, which can be visually quite noticeable.
In some cases, the tumor can still have some soreness if it is located very close to the nerve endings. Such symptoms of the lipom are almost always characterized.
The tumor size can be any, but sometimes it becomes just a huge, reaching more than 20 centimeters in diameter. One of the characteristic features on which it is possible to know the lipoma is that when the mass loss of human body is lost, the size of the tumor increases sharply.
Diagnosis and treatment
When it comes to subcutaneous wen, most doctors put a correct diagnosis already with a primary examination of the patient.
In the presence of internal lime, there is a need to apply instrumental diagnostic techniques: computed tomography, ultrasound examination, x-ray using contrast.
Despite the fact that lipom is not a malignant neoplasm, most doctors still advise her to treat it.
Subcutaneous wen, located in open areas of the body, look extremely nonethetically and can cause very peculiar discomfort.
It is quite possible to cure lime without surgery in the cosmetology salon. But internal tumors as they grow can lead to a violation of the functioning of organs nearby.
Conservative Lipoma Treatment is not effective, and therefore in official medicine does not apply. As a rule, fat is removed by surgical path, when the doctor subtracts the contents of the tumor during the operation and scraps or completely excishes its capsule.
In the latter case, the risk of recurrence of the disease is reduced to almost zero. After conducting surgical manipulations, the wound is sewn and heals quickly quickly.
Today, lipoma removal can be carried out both with the help of a traditional open operation and a minimally invasive endoscopic method. However, in the latter case, it is impossible to guarantee the lack of recurrence in the future. Depending on the magnitude and location of the tumor, its removal is carried out using local anesthesia outpatient or in the hospital under general anesthesia.
To date, more modern methods of treating this disease also appeared, including the removal of the tumor by the laser can be distinguished.
Such an operation is considered highly efficient due to the fact that patients are very easily transferred, and the postoperative scar will quickly and painlessly heals. In addition, recurrences after the exposure of the laser beam almost do not occur.
Folk remedies against lipomas
Many healers advise to treat lime folk remedies with various applications and compresses. The effectiveness of these methods, relatively with the surgical method, is quite controversial, although many people claim that the people’s recipes should be treated with this disease.
Thus, the most effective means against subcutaneous wen are made masks from honey and sour cream, for the preparation of which honey is mixed in equal amounts, fresh fatty sour cream and salt, then a little heats up and applied to the skin area right above the lipoma. Keep the mask preferably not less than half an hour, perform the procedure every two days for one to two months.
There are many other recipes, but it is important to remember that the use of any of them can harm if you pre-consult with your doctor.
