Can lipomas regrow during pregnancy and menopause?

December 22, 2024
Asked By:Mary8844 in Aqua Zarca, Cabañas Department, El Salvador

I have a small lipoma in my lower back, next to my spine. Most of it was removed when I was 11, now I'm 23. It wasn't totally removed because of possible further damage to the nerves. I'm quite concerned in case of a pregnancy since I've read that changes in hormones can cause them to grow, and not only that, but also menopause. Is there anything I can do?
