My mother is 65 and has a large, soft, painless lipoma in the middle of her upper stomach. It's been slowly growing, and since she also has diabetes, we're worried about surgery. Are there any permanent Ayurveda or homeopathy treatments that can dissolve the fatty lump from the root so it doesn't come back? We'd really prefer to avoid surgery.

The effectiveness of treatment depends on the specific condition and individual response. Some mild cases may improve with alternative therapies, but more serious issues might need conventional medical or surgical treatment. It's best to consult both specialists for a balanced approach.
