I have two very large growths in my liver. The largest of which is 11cm by 9cm by 7 cm and have grown 2 cm in each direction in the last year. I am being referred to a general surgeon because one growth is pushing on my hepatic artery. What kind of surgery should I expect? I have also developed a large amount of food intolerances that lead to bloating, constipation, and pain and wonder if these are related. I am a 28 year old female.
Good morning I am sorry to hear about illhealthMasses in liver which are large and causing symptoms need to be surgically removed before doing that it's very important to know the cause and nature of these masses. This is done by a procedure called biopsy involving putting a needle in the liver mass. Commonly they may be cysts (simple or parasitic), mass containing a lot of blood vessels, rarely cancer. Your symptoms of bloating, constipation and pain could be from the mass pressing on your stomach and colons if I were your doctor I would exactly know what is this mass and then venture upon further treatment Hope this would answer your questions you a speedy recovery
