What Is a Neurofibroma, and Should I Be Concerned If I Have One? - #15703
During a recent check-up, my doctor mentioned that I might have a neurofibroma, and now I’m trying to understand what it is and whether it’s something to be worried about. I had never heard of neurofibromas before, but from what I read, they are non-cancerous nerve tumors that grow along the nervous system. I know that neurofibromas are usually associated with a condition called neurofibromatosis, but can they also develop randomly? What are the symptoms of a neurofibroma—do they always cause pain or nerve problems, or can they be completely harmless? I also read that some neurofibromas can grow over time and become large enough to affect nearby nerves. How often does this happen, and when do doctors recommend removal? Are there natural or Ayurvedic treatments that can help slow the growth of neurofibromas? I found that Ashwagandha, Triphala, and Gotu Kola might help with nerve health—do these actually work for managing neurofibromas? For those who have been diagnosed with a neurofibroma, what was your experience? Did you need surgery, or were you able to monitor it without intervention? I’d love to hear real experiences and advice on managing neurofibromas naturally.
