A meningioma that has grown three millimeters in four years is serious or not specifically related to where the meningioma is growing. If the meningioma is growing next to a nerve or blood vessel, a three-millimeter growth is more serious. If the meningioma is not in an important location, the growth of three millimeters is not serious.
1. More serious: if the meningioma grows next to nerves or important blood vessels, the growth of three millimeters may further compress the nerves and blood vessels, causing or aggravating symptoms such as numbness, dysfunction and varicose blood vessels, which will cause greater harm to the body, and is therefore more serious.
2. Not serious: If the meningioma is not in an important position and does not show obvious clinical symptoms after growing three millimeters, it is generally not serious and will not cause too much harm to the body, so it can be closely observed and regularly rechecked first.
In daily life, meningioma patients should pay more attention to rest, avoid staying up late and overworking. They should eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, supplement protein, vitamins and other nutrients appropriately, and also exercise appropriately to enhance their physical fitness.
Patients with meningioma should seek medical treatment in time, and actively treat the disease under the guidance of doctors, so as to avoid delaying the condition and causing more serious consequences.
