Our body systems; the veins, arteries and capillaries are the vessels that acts are tubes for the free from of substances like blood, oxygen, hormones and other waste products. The toxins accumulation when become in excess for the body to contain they definitely become poisons in our bodies. The liver becomes tired of if external materials coming from the environment excess what it should be filtered and get rid off in the body. As a result, these accumulation of toxins when become waste and the liver becoming malfunctioning on these waste products become may coagulate in the form of swell and later develop into a certain disease which can respond to surgical operation.

A similar situation is what I had as Lipoma, a condition which suddenly appeared at the base of my skin; probably the dermis structure.
From my little research and what the Doctors told me, Lipoma is a clinical condition where a lump of fatty tissue grows under the skin.
The Doctors explained that Lipoma result as the fat and and some waste products are unable to detoxify from our body systems, they clot and and later swell at the affected area.
Description of my Lipoma
The swelling of my lipoma began at my abdomen under the skin. At first I saw it as a spot which later began to increase in size. When it was small in size, I didn't feel that there was something there. Later the the size of the swell was increasing but I didn't experience any obvious pains. The place was soft and when touched it rotated. At the abdomen close to the base of my stomach is something that I scared off. Because it turned to make my stomach protruding on every blessed day.
According to experts Lipoma isn't harmful as other diseases which affect the human body. Lipoma may deposited at many places of ones body such as the neck, back, forehead, arms and legs. For instance when it affects the back region it doesn't swell quickly due to the hardness compare to the neck and abdomen like my case.

The action that I took
When I found out that this Lipoma could be dangerous of course which I didn't know much into it, I quickly rushed to Asaaman SDA Hospital for diagnoses and further treatment. X-ray was captured at the affected area and the result shown that it was Lipoma which has affected my abdomen. They gave me option if I prefer it to be there or need some surgical operation. But looking at the feeling I was experiencing in my body, I couldn't withstand for it to stay at my abdomen. I requested for surgical operation and about 3 days time I was given a note to come to Asaaman SDA Hospital for surgery.
In fact this was my first time Doctors would be performing surgery on my body so I frightened, but I had to remain as a man. The surgery had to be performed parallel with my quiz exams and I needed to reschedule my time. The day lapsed and I had to be in the hospital early morning. A lot of advice were given from the Doctors at the theater. Hopefully it was done peacefully and I didn't experienced much pain. When they removed the whole Lipoma and showed to me, it was like coagulated fat deposited there.
The wounds of my surgery had healed now and I don't feel that there is something at my abdomen region. But to my little experience which some of my colleagues here may take it as a piece of advice. Any condition that happens in our body systems my be taken into serious action. Immediate respond to treatment is the best solution. But I don't know if it had earlier reported to Hospital maybe the Doctors might have given some medication to resolve this lipoma issue. When we wait for the situation to aggravate we would pay higher bills.
