What are the dangers of back lipoma?

Lipomas are generally benign, but if left untreated they can still cause some harm, and there is a certain chance that they will become malignant. Lipomas on the back are also very common, and if not treated in time there is a great possibility that they will grow larger, spread, and affect the appearance.

1. The harm of lipoma

1. The spread of lipoma itself

If lipomas are not treated promptly and effectively, they will grow larger and larger over time, and will become more and more numerous, gradually spreading to the entire body until the lipomas are covered. Not only will the difficulty of treatment increase several times, but the patient will also suffer greater physical and psychological torture.

2. The compression of the tumor

The harm of lipoma lies in the pressure of the tumor on the body and nerves. Some tumors grow in key parts of the body, especially lipomas that are painful when pressed. As the tumor grows, it will compress the nerves and blood vessels in key parts, eventually threatening human life.

3. Possible deterioration

In some cases, lipomas can deteriorate into liposarcoma, which is cancer and is more harmful. For example: radiation, chemical stimulation, long-term irregular diet and rest, etc. may all cause lipoma to worsen.

4. Affects the appearance

If you have a lipoma on your body, it will be ugly for anyone, especially if there are multiple lipomas all over the body, which is extremely ugly and will also cause psychological trauma to the patient with the lipoma.

How are lipomas formed?

1. 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. The principles of treatment are: antipyretic and dehumidifying, invigorating the spleen and stomach, softening and dispersing lumps.

2. People who are under too much work pressure, are irritable, and 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. Treatment principles: Soothe the liver and regulate qi, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, soften and disperse nodules. Through treatment, the meridians are opened up, menstrual blood is unclogged, and lipomas are eliminated.

3. 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 decompose fat decreases, the original fat tissue and the new fat cannot be arranged normally, and abnormal fat tissue, namely "lipoma" is formed. The treatment principles are: invigorating Qi and strengthening the spleen, regulating the balance of yin and yang, softening and dispersing nodules.

4. There is a family history of lipoma

There is a certain genetic tendency for lipomas. If parents have lipoma, their offspring may also inherit certain genes and develop lipoma. The chance of lipoma being inherited is small, but it cannot be ruled out.

The formation of lipoma is mainly caused by developing bad living habits and excessive fatigue. In this regard, we remind everyone to develop good living habits. Even those friends who think they are young and it’s okay should be vigilant. Your body is your own, and you only have one, but you can never make enough money, so you should cherish your body.

Conclusion: Through the above introduction, everyone is now very clear about the harm of lipoma. For lipoma patients, no matter how big the lipoma is, as long as it affects their aesthetics, it needs to be removed. If you don't remove it, the lipoma may grow bigger and bigger, or even become multiple lipomas, resulting in lipomas all over the body. I guess these are not what everyone wants to see, right? If lipoma appears in the future, treat it immediately.
