Is hamartoma hereditary?

Many young patients with hamartomas, because they have this disease, dare not get married and have children even if they are cured, because they are very afraid that the disease will be passed on to the next generation. This situation makes many hamartoma patients stop in the face of marriage. Today we will learn about whether hamartomas are hereditary?

Regarding hamartoma, many people do not have a correct understanding of this disease. Today we will first understand what hamartoma is:

Hamartoma is the incorrect combination and arrangement of normal tissues in an organ. This disordered change in the number, structure or maturity of organ tissues will grow slowly with the development of the human body and rarely become malignant. Hamartoma has complex components. Most of them are tumor-like deformities formed by abnormal development of normal tissues, and a few are mesenchymal tumors. Fat and calcification are the characteristic manifestations of most hamartomas.

So, will hamartoma be inherited? Let's understand this issue:

At present, no obvious signs of inheritance of hamartoma have been found, so most data show that hamartoma will not be passed on to the next generation. Hamartoma is not a hereditary disease, but the possibility of family history cannot be ruled out. Therefore, although no cases of inheritance of hamartoma have been found, due to the incidence of family history, strictly speaking, hamartoma may have a certain degree of heredity, but it is not clear at present.

However, hamartoma can be cured through treatment, so patients with hamartoma do not need to worry too much. Do not give up the right to start a family just because of hamartoma. Any disease can be treated, and the cure rate of hamartoma is very high.

Finally, let us introduce to you how to prevent hamartoma through diet:

Improve eating habits. Arrange your daily diet reasonably, eat more fresh fruits, vegetables and other foods rich in carbohydrates and crude fiber, appropriately increase the proportion of coarse grains and whole grains in the staple food, and do not eat too fine or too refined. Change the habit of eating meat and high-protein foods as the staple food. Eat less high-fat foods, especially control the intake of animal fat. As long as you do these, you can effectively prevent hamartoma.
