<human>: I was recently diagnosed with a liver hemangioma . I don t know the exact size of it. I read that being on birth control could cause the tumor to grow. Should I stop taking birth control pills ( seasonique )? Also I have recently taken ChatDoctor diet drops and think that may be the cause of my liver enzymes being elevated which prompted the sonogram. How dangerous is this hemangioma and should I discontinue taking birth control pill? Could ChatDoctor have caused the tumor to grow? And since I am no longer using ChatDoctor will the tumor stop growing? Thank you. 43 yr old female
<bot>: Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Hemangiomas are the most common benign tumors in liver. They are usually harmless, however they may cause some pain and/or bleeding if it ruptures. If it is asymptomatic, leave it as it is. If it causes pain or bleeding, it will be surgically excised. I recommend that you consult your Gynecologist about choosing another contraceptive method (other than the pills). Stopping the pill, will shrink its size. Regards Chat Doctor.
