A large lipoma is typically a solid lipoma, containing no cystic fluid. When the lipoma is very large, resembling a big steamed bun (mantou), I need to pinch it while performing fire needle therapy (huǒ zhēn zhì liáo), and it requires multiple insertions. However, each insertion will gradually reduce its size. Therefore, if there is a solid tumor, it needs to be treated multiple times to slowly decrease in size, but the long-term effect will show more significant reduction over time. As time passes, the efficacy of fire needle therapy for treating diseases will appear to improve.
This is a lipoma that has been treated once, about the size of a steamed bun.
This is the process of the second treatment.
After treatment, you will see it gradually shrink.
You may wonder, what harm could come from not treating this lipoma?
Not only you, but the patient also did not initially consider treating the lipoma, focusing instead on systemic health issues.
However, when she lay down, I noticed a large lipoma on her shoulder area, and as a doctor, I felt compelled to treat it.
So I said, let me give a few injections here, which led to the first image. After a few injections, I saw that during the second treatment, it had shrunk a bit, and I encouraged her to continue with a few more injections.
This lipoma is from the second treatment, and she will return. If she does, I will take more photos to share with everyone.
Since this lipoma is already quite large, if left untreated, it could compress the qi and blood in the neck, leading to poor supply and numbness in the limbs. So sometimes you might think, why not just let such a large lipoma be? It can affect other meridians, qi and blood, as well as nerves and muscles, causing various pains, numbness, and discomfort.
Perhaps you have gotten used to it and think it’s fine, but if it persists for a long time, it’s like piling up garbage on a highway, blocking other vehicles or forcing them to detour. We must find a way to clear it away to keep all routes open.
Our body is similar; if any meridian is blocked, it will compress other meridians, leading to nerve obstruction. I see that it has compressed the Hand Shaoyin Lung Meridian (shǒu shào yīn fèi jīng) while also affecting the Hand Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian (shǒu tài yáng xiǎo cháng jīng) and other areas, which may eventually lead to disease and meridian obstruction.
Currently, although you are still young and may not feel anything, over time, various symptoms of compression will emerge, which is not beneficial for your health. Therefore, I say if there are any obstructions, barriers, or lumps in your body, we must clear them promptly to prevent serious consequences.
