Breast Tuberculosis (Mammary TB / Breast TB)

What is Breast Tuberculosis (Mammary TB / Breast TB)

In Homeopathy, Breast TB is seen as a form of tuberculosis where TB germs infect the breast tissue, usually due to weak immunity, hormonal imbalance, stress, or spread from lymph nodes.

This condition often resembles common breast issues like lumps or infections, but it develops slowly and painlessly, which is why it is sometimes misunderstood or diagnosed late.

Homeopathy focuses on:

  •  Strengthening the immune system
  •  Reducing swelling & pain
  •  Helping breast tissue heal naturally
  •  Correcting deep tubercular tendencies
  • Supporting overall hormonal and emotional balance

“Breast TB heals beautifully with proper treatment.

Homeopathy strengthens immunity, reduces lumps, and supports natural breast healing.”

Breast TB occurs when TB bacteria infect:

  • Breast tissue
  • Milk ducts
  • Nipple area
  • Surrounding lymph nodes


It can lead to:

  • A lump in the breast
  • Mild pain
  • Abscess formation (sometimes)
  • Skin thickening

Breast TB is not related to breast cancer — and is treatable.

Homeopathy supports healing by reducing inflammation and strengthening the constitution.

Why Does Breast TB Occur

  1. Spread from Lymph Nodes
  • Most commonly from axillary (armpit) glands.

2. Weak Immunity (Vital Force Decline)

Due to:

  • Stress
  • Poor nutrition
  • Sleeplessness
  • Emotional strain
  • Chronic illness
  • Post-pregnancy weakness

3.  Tubercular Miasm (Constitutional Weakness)

Women who are:

  • Thin & weak
  • Have irregular cycles
  • Are sensitive or anxious
  • Catch infections easily
    are more prone.

4.  Pregnancy & Lactation

  • Immunity changes, increasing susceptibility.

5.  Past TB history

6.  Direct infection from skin or ducts

7. Rare, but possible with cracked nipples.

Symptoms

(Explained simply & clearly for patients)

  1.  Breast Lump
  • Commonly a firm, painless or mildly painful lump.

2.  Swelling in the breast

  • Sometimes the whole breast appears heavier.

3.  Pain or tenderness

  • Usually mild to moderate.

4.  Discharge from nipple

  • May be clear, pus-like, or watery.

5.  Sinus formation (in severe cases)

  • A small opening in the skin that drains pus.

6.  Armpit Swelling (Axillary Nodes)

  • Very common sign of Breast TB.

7.  Mild Fever

8.  Fatigue, weakness

Homeopathy helps reduce these lumps, swelling, and discomfort naturally.

  • Never skip doses.

2.  Wear comfortable bra
