What should I pay attention to if I have a lipoma on my back

In life, some people have a lipoma on their back, which makes patients very worried. In fact, this lipoma is a benign tumor, which often appears on the waist, back and legs of the human body. From a scientific point of view, lipoma will not cause any harm to the body, but it will affect the patient's appearance. So what should you pay attention to if you have a lipoma on your back?

First, what should you pay attention to if you have a lipoma on your back? Lipoma is a benign tumor originating from adipose tissue. There is a thin connective tissue capsule around the tumor, which contains normal fat cells divided into leaf-like groups by connective tissue bundles. Some lipomas contain a lot of connective tissue or blood vessels in addition to a large amount of adipose tissue, forming a complex lipoma. It can occur in adipose tissue anywhere in the body, but rarely becomes malignant. Clinically, it commonly occurs under the skin of the shoulders, back, and buttocks. Larger tumors may require surgical treatment.

Second, people who drink excessively, often eat fatty meat, animal offal, scaleless fish or egg yolks, etc. Because eating too much fatty and high-cholesterol food can cause damp-heat in the spleen and stomach, endogenous phlegm and dampness, and disorder of transportation and transformation, that is, too much new adipose tissue is generated, causing excessive fat cells in the body to aggregate and harden. People who are under too much work pressure, are in a bad mood, and are often angry. Because of liver qi stagnation, poor blood circulation, and blocked meridians, normal adipose tissue and blood stasis can be intertwined. Over a long period of time, connective tissue can form to wrap around fat cells and form lipomas. People who often stay up late and think too much. Because the spleen and stomach are damaged, the spleen loses its healthy function and the yin and yang are out of balance, the body's ability to break down fat decreases, the original fat tissue and the new fat cannot be arranged normally, and abnormal fat tissue is formed.

Third, if you have a lipoma on your body, especially on your back, it is best not to get a massage or the like, as this will irritate the tumor and accelerate its growth. Avoid smoking and drinking, especially patients should abstain from alcohol, because alcohol can directly damage liver function, may stimulate the formation of lipoma, or cause the original tumor to grow, or even increase the cancer rate of lipoma.

What should I pay attention to if I have a lipoma on my back? Generally speaking, smaller lipomas do not need to be treated, but if they are larger or multiple, they do need treatment. The general treatment method is surgical removal. Although the chance of lipoma turning into cancer is very small, if the area where the tumor grows, such as the shoulder and neck, is constantly rubbed by clothes, the tumor will grow bigger. In fact, the same is true for moles. If they are constantly rubbed, they may even turn into cancer.
