Brief Answer:
Benign lumps, not cancerous
Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,
Sorry to hear about your wife's problem. The description of her lumps are suggestive of a fibroadenomas in both the breasts, which are the most common benign tumors of the breast. They are not cancerous and nor can they change into a cancer.
The size of your wife's lesions do not warrant a biopsy or surgery. She should just get a repeat ultrasound after 3 months. Most of the times such small lesions disappear on their own. Homeopathic medicines have been shown to have no effect on these lesions. If they start growing in size, she requires a simple surgery.
No dietary restrictions are required and she can carry out her normal activities.
Hoping for the best. Please feel free to clarify any other query.

Thank you sir for the advise. it was of great help to me. I would like to know why do woman develop such type of tumors at this age. what is the reason for this. are there any basic tests that we can perform to know if she has any such kind of tumors. does this happen only in breast or does it happen in any other places of the body (i understand what a benine tumor is) so does this happen only in breast that was my question. thank u very much for the reply sir. can she drink green tea or wheat grass. do u recommend any of this . does she need to have a check of estrongen levels in her body. is this related to hormone imbalance or dates thank u sir.
Brief Answer:
no hormonal tests required
Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,
These are very common lesions in women of her age. The exact cause of this condition is not known but yes hormonal changes do play some role. That does not mean she should get a hormonal tests done.
Wheat grass and green tea can be consumed but will do nothing to treat this condition. These tumors are common in the breast. Some people also develop lipomas (collection of fat; benign lump).
She should not worry about these lumps unnecessarily and lead a normal life.
Hoping for the best.
