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.

I'm in my second trimester, and my thyroid was detected back in the first trimester. I've been taking medication, but now my thyroid level is 11.7, and I'm really worried about it. I had a second-level ultrasound, and thankfully everything seemed normal, and the baby is doing well. Can you guide me on this and maybe suggest some diet changes that might help with my thyroid condition?
