Most hemangioma are benign.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

A liver hemangioma is made up of a tangle of blood vessels. In 99% of casss it never grows in size and is benign in nature.

Protocol:

Get an ultrasound done every 6 months to see if mass is growing.
If not then no further treatment is required.

For prostate start taking Urimax D once daily.
As you are mild diabetic take Metformin once daily in the morning.

Hope I have answered your query.

Take care
