Lipomas are considered benign lesions, primarily caused by abnormal proliferation of subcutaneous fat. They form lumps in adipose tissue. If a patient is clearly diagnosed with a lipoma, it is generally recommended to adhere to a light diet, consuming less food that is high in fats or proteins. It is also advised to engage in more physical activity. Through appropriate exercise, it can effectively reduce subcutaneous adipose tissue, which can lead to weight loss. It is not recommended to eat fatty meats, protein-rich foods, seafood, and the like.

Can people with lipomas eat eggs?

Patients with lipomas can eat eggs; eating eggs does not affect lipomas. In daily life, it is best to avoid overly greasy food and to participate in sports activities. If overweight, it is necessary to begin weight loss soon to prevent excessive subcutaneous fat accumulation, which can lead to the formation of lipomas. If a lipoma is quite large, it can be surgically removed at a local hospital.

"How to eliminate lipomas?"

If you want to eliminate a lipoma, it generally requires surgical removal of the lipoma in its entirety. Lipomas are more likely to occur in subcutaneous fat or within muscle tissue. For small, asymptomatic lipomas, surgery is usually not necessary; however, if the lipoma enlarges, causes local compression symptoms, local pain, or if there is a significant increase in size in a short period, surgical removal can be considered, and most can be removed under local anesthesia. If the lipoma is on the back, due to prolonged compression, the difficulty of the surgery may be slightly increased.

Is lipoma serious?

Lipoma is a common disease in clinical practice, and it is generally not very serious, so there is no need for excessive worry. A lipoma is a tumor-like mass of normal tissue, commonly found on the trunk and limbs of the body. It has a clear boundary and is lobulated, soft, and may feel like a false cyst, painless, and grows slowly. Some can be quite large. Deep lipomas that might turn malignant should be removed promptly. Generally speaking, lipomas only require surgical treatment if there is suspicion of malignancy, if the tumor is large enough to affect daily life or aesthetics, or if malignancy is suspected.

Can lipomas disappear?

Lipomas generally do not disappear on their own, and currently the only effective treatment for subcutaneous lipomas is surgical removal. However, lipomas are typically managed with an observational approach in clinical settings. Regular ultrasound checks can be scheduled to assess the growth rate of the lipoma and monitor any clinical symptoms it may cause. Observation is mainly employed because lipomas rarely turn malignant and because lipomas, especially those on the body's surface, often appear as multiple lesions. Complete removal can lead to surgical scars, affecting the appearance. Most lipomas grow slowly, often remaining asymptomatic under one centimeter, requiring no special treatment. During follow-up, if the growth rate is unusually rapid, malignancy cannot be ruled out, and surgical removal should be considered.
