Q. If you have a lump in your breast and don't want surgery, how do you treat it? Is eating fruits to dissolve it a way to avoid surgery?
Doctor Answer is medically reviewed by SecondMedic medical review team.
No, eating fruits and other foods will not dissolve a lump in your breast. The only way to accurately diagnose the cause of the lump is to visit a doctor for an ultrasound or biopsy. Surgery may be recommended based on the results of these tests and could include things like a needle biopsy or lumpectomy.
However, there are non-surgical treatments available such as hormone therapy if it's determined that the lump is caused by hormones. Other therapies can involve radiotherapy which targets cancer cells while leaving healthy tissue unharmed, cryosurgery which freezes off cancerous tissues, or laser surgery that uses lasers to break down tumors into tiny fragments for removal. Speak with your doctor about what treatment might work best for you depending on the specific cause of your lump and any other factors relevant to your case.
