Fatty liver and hemangioma

I have been diagnosed with a fatty liver and liver hemangioma. The doctor hasn;t said anything to me about what to do. Do I just leave it alone? Live with the pain? Is it a precurser to liver cancer? I am 47 years old and overweight. I try to eat a healthy diet. Anybody else have these same issues?

I have the same terrible disease NAFLD+hemangioma.  I think it is VERY SERIOUS, I've heard people have liver transplants from NAFLD and the fat causes scarring and damage and inflammation.  we need to make drastic changes NOW

the spinning sounds like vertigo to me - an inner ear problem.
A very simple drug - antivert - someplaces sold over the counter helps me. Pretty much known as the 'seasickness cure'

Hi I was recently diagnosed with a fatty liver and liver hemangioma by ultrasound ( approx 4cmX 2cm X2). I have had no symptoms the reason for the ultrasound was due to elevated liver enzymes. From what I have read hemangiomas do not cause elevated liver enzymes, should I be worried? And my question is, is it ok to drink alcohol with a liver hemangioma? I am only 25 and do have a few drinks 1-2 times a week. I am by no means an alcoholic and I know the rational thing would be to not drink at all. But does anyone know if even moderate alchol consumption is ok with a liver hemangioma? Any input would be great. Thanks

Hi, I have been going through something similar, although I have not been given a definitive diagnosis yet. I had an ultrasound that noted  a liver focus "with appearances most likely representing a cavernous hemangioma", and then a CT with contrast that indicated "probable focal fatty infiltration", my (as yet to be defined) focus is 4 cm. What kind of imaging did they do to discover the fatty liver and hemangioma?  Do you know how large your hemangioma is?  Typical, hemangiomas are left alone if they are under 5 cm and not causing you any symptoms or pain. For fatty liver, usually the doctors would want to figure out what is causing it, if not diet or alcohol related. Low fat diet and exercise are highly recommended for fatty liver, along with abstinence from alcohol.  Also important: there may be a connection with hemangiomas and estrogen production, so if you're taking oral contraceptive pills or hormone replacement therapy, stop. Discuss with your doctor first, of course.  Generally hemangiomas do not turn into cancer, nor does fatty liver. But, you'll want to work on the fatty liver because it can become more serious in the long run. Weight loss is also recommended. Please let me know what's happening with your diagnosis, ok. Take care and happy new year.
