🌿 Lipoma – How to manage Fatty Swellings
By Dr. S. Chidambaranathan, B.H.M.S., M.D. (Hom.) – Homeopathy Doctor, Madurai
🩺 What is a Lipoma?
A lipoma is a soft, slow-growing lump made of fatty tissue found just beneath the skin. It is usually painless and non-cancerous (benign). Lipomas are common in areas such as the neck, shoulders, back, arms, and thighs.
While harmless in most cases, some people seek advice for cosmetic or comfort reasons.
🧬 Understanding Adipose Tissue
Fat or adipose tissue helps the body store energy, maintain warmth, and protect internal organs. However, when fat cells grow in a localized cluster, it can form a soft swelling called a lipoma.
Lipomas can occur in anyone and may sometimes run in families. They are not directly related to obesity or fatty food consumption.
👩⚕️ Who Can Get Lipomas?
Lipomas may appear at any age but are most common in adults between 30 and 50 years.
They may occur as a single lump or, rarely, as multiple swellings in different parts of the body.
Both men and women can develop lipomas.
📍 Common Sites
Lipomas are usually found in areas with more fatty tissue:
Neck and shoulders
Back and arms
Thighs, abdomen, and hips
Occasionally, deeper tissues such as muscles or internal organs
🔍 Diagnosis
A doctor can usually identify a lipoma through physical examination.
To confirm and rule out other conditions, investigations such as ultrasound, CT, MRI, or biopsy may be recommended.
⚖️ General Management
Lipomas are often left alone if they do not cause discomfort.
When needed, treatment options are discussed based on size, location, and patient preference.
Surgical or non-surgical procedures may be considered by conventional practitioners.
