Lessons learned from hemangioma injection therapy

Injection therapy is one of the most commonly used of the many treatments for hemangiomas. Although many hospitals carry out injection treatment, the effect of treatment varies greatly for the same hemangioma condition, with some people getting well after one or two injections and others not getting well after seven or eight injections. The speed of treatment effect depends mainly on two factors – different drug choices and different injection techniques. First, let’s talk about the choice of drugs. Injections are commonly used in three kinds, one, human metabolites, mainly hormones, urea. Although they are human metabolites, hormones have the most side effects of all injectable drugs, while urea is the least effective and the most painful to hit. But these two drugs also have advantages, that is, it is the cheapest of all drugs, the cost of drugs plus injection fees, once two hundred almost. Hormones are generally played once a month, urea is to be played every day, a course of seven days in a row, and then seven days every month, to play several courses of treatment. Second, pingyangmycin, bleomycin, the effect is good, is used for the longest time, playing the most hospital drugs, but is, after all, chemotherapy drugs, many people will be afraid of, the price is medium, the cost of the drug plus the injection fee, three or four hundred at a time, once a month to play enough. Third, polyguinol, plant extracts, new hemangioma treatment drugs, first discovered by German doctors, and used in the treatment of hemangioma, the risk is minimal, the effect is also good, but the price is more expensive, the cost of medication plus injection fees, a time to seven hundred, once a month to play on it. There is no absolute which drug is the best, whether it is good or not depends on the actual situation of each person, for example, some really bad economy, of course, or to play hormone or urea is more affordable. But if the economy permits, more often than not, the safer, faster polyglutamine is the choice. Secondly, talk about the injection technique of the drug. Hormones, urea because the effect is very slow, to play a lot of many times, so the injection mainly lies in the humane aspects of the focus, the injection process as much as possible to do fast in and out, and strive to end the injection within a few seconds, to reduce the child’s injection of pain, as far as possible, once only in a part of the needle, do not more parts of the repeated injections, the effect of a time is not good anyway, a few few less pinpointing the eye of the needle, the patient will be a few minutes less pain. Pingyangmycin, bleomycin when playing can play deeper, playing too superficial, some easy to break. The first injection is relatively good, the second injection, due to hemangioma inside the role of drugs, often appear fibrosis, so push the pressure will often increase significantly, the child will not cooperate, the difficulty will often increase, as far as possible pinch the needle, so as not to cause damage to the child needle shaking. Polyglutamine is a very special drug, and its effectiveness is very much related to the technique of injecting it. Even if you don’t have the skill to inject the drugs mentioned earlier, it will only increase the pain of the child when injecting, but it will still have little effect on the effect. In the case of polycitric acid, the effect of the same drug with different injection techniques will vary greatly, with some people getting better after one or two injections, while others still get little result after several injections. Some people get better after one or two injections, while others still get little results after several injections. Polycricinol is a relatively expensive drug, and each additional injection will not only add unnecessary pain to the child, but also increase the financial burden of several hundred dollars for the parents. When injecting polycinnamyl alcohol, my personal experience for so many years is that the more superficial the injection is, the faster and better the effect will be when the injection is made on the surface of the hemangioma, rather than to the inside of the hemangioma like those medicines in the previous section. So my secret in administering polycitricol is that I often use a curved needle for the injection rather than a straight one. Of course, you can’t buy a bent needle on the market, so you have to make your own on-site, that is, first bend the straight needle yourself, and then inject it. Because the needle is bent, the injection out of the medicine is pushed upward, it is possible to hit a very superficial level, and the straight needle is very difficult to do. The degree of bending of the needle is analyzed according to the different conditions of the hemangioma, so it is difficult to say exactly how much the needle must be bent, and it depends on the specific situation, and you should judge it according to your own experience. The general area is not particularly huge, through the bending needle, usually once or twice, two or three most have achieved good results.
