Question 1

7cm mass feels squishy& hurts causingleg to go numb. ultrasoud said has blood vessel inside. can this be cancer? 59y/o male.no other symptoms.pls help

Accepted Answer

More information is: needed to help. Where on the leg is this? Behind the knee a Baker's cyst can feel like that. Lipoma could also be that way. Rather than speculation, imaging is needed. Ultrasound is an excellent way to begin. MRI even better. Speak to your doctor about your concerns and pathways to follow. Good luck

Question 3

are you sure cherry angiomas are not caused by estrogen attacking blood vessels. i have some on breast worried get cancer?

Accepted Answer

Angiomas: "Cherry angiomata" are not pre-cancerous.  They are not due to estrogen "attacking" blood vessels, but represent simple excess growth of tiny blood vessels under the skin, which become visible. They are of no medical concern, just cosmetic.

Question 4

Question 5

what kind of supplement or vitamin can help 
strong blood vessel?..

Accepted Answer

Yes: The most important nutrients for vessel health are bioflavonoids & vitamin c. Vitamin e & zinc are also important. Several herbs like horsechestnut, butcher's broom & gotu kola are beneficial. See http://www.Umm.Edu/altmed/articles/varicose-veins-000173.Htm for more info- though this is about varicose veins, these herbs & nutrients are good for vessel health even if you don't have varicose veins.

Question 6

i have a small reddish dot  right below the head of my penis to me it looks kind of like a small blood vessel  it stands out from the rest of my skin ?

Accepted Answer

Just watch &amp; see...: Without a direct look at, it is hard to tell what it may be although clinically it may represent a varix (tiny benign venous new growth), which is common and benign with no practical need for active care although very occasionally it may bleed. So, it would be most reasonable to just watch, wait, and see how it may change and evolve.

Question 7

what exactly is congestive heart failure?  a friend was dx'd with it, he was told his blood vessels were too small and that only medications could be given.  what kind of medications, and what about blood vessel size?

what would be life span?

Accepted Answer

Congestive heart : Congestive heart failure is a result of poor function of the heart to deal with the flow of blood which leads to congestion of fluids. A small blood vessel is vague but it seems like there could be a problem with the major blood vessels leaving the heart that causes the heart to not be able to effectively push blood through it. Many more details are needed to respond to your other concerns.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Vascular surgeon.: Vascular surgeons deal with the circulation which consists of arteries and veins.  You should consult with a vascular surgeon.

Question 10

what type of fat is good for your heart and your blood vessels?

Accepted Answer

The ideal diet: = gvb = grains/veg/beans (+ fruit nuts, and seeds) at the 90 + % level. This is what fits with our anatomy and physiology. But of the fats, nuts/seeds are some better with small organic extra virgin oiive & sesame oils or krill oil (likely better than distilled fish oil). I say take supplements only 4-5 days/week so that the body does not become adapted to them & they become ineffective. www.thepm.
