Lobar, Segmental & Diffuse Pulmonary Tuberculosis

What is Lobar, Segmental & Diffuse Pulmonary Tuberculosis

In Homeopathy, Lobar, Segmental, and Diffuse TB are seen as different patterns of how TB infection spreads inside the lungs.
These patterns tell us which parts of the lung need deeper healing, and how strong or weak the person’s lung immunity is.

At our homeopathic centre, our aim is to help the lungs repair the affected area, reduce inflammation, improve breathing, and strengthen the entire respiratory constitution, so recovery becomes complete and long-lasting.

“No matter which part of your lung is affected — healing is possible.

Homeopathy helps your lungs rebuild their strength naturally and safely.”

 

प्रकार

1. Lobar TB

  • TB affecting one full lobe of the lung.
    For example:
  • Right upper lobe TB
  • Left upper lobe TB
  • Lower lobe TB
  • It usually produces:
  • Heavy cough
  • Fever
  • Chest pain in that region

2.  Segmental TB

  • TB affecting one or more segments of the lung instead of the whole lobe.
  • It may be mild initially but can spread if immunity is weak.
  • Symptoms are similar to Pulmonary TB but more localized.

 3. Diffuse TB

  • When TB spreads across multiple areas of the lungs, causing widespread irritation.
  • This form may cause:
  • Breathlessness
  • Thin weak body
  • Strong cough spells
  • Greater fatigue

Homeopathy sees this as a sign of deeper constitutional weakness that needs holistic support.

कारण

  1. Weak Lung Immunity
  • Due to stress, previous illnesses, poor sleep, grief, or hereditary weakness.

2. Previous TB Infection

  • Old TB that did not heal fully may reactivate.

3.  Smoking or Dust Exposure

  • Weakens the lung tissues.

4.  Tubercular Miasm (Constitutional Predisposition)

  • Homeopathy identifies this as a deeper tendency toward:
  • वजन कम होना
  • Recurrent cough
  • Poor resistance

5.  Low Nutrition & Weak Body Strength

  • All these cause TB to settle in specific lung regions (lobes or segments) or spread diffusely.

लक्षण

Although symptoms vary with extent of involvement, most patients experience:

  1. Persistent Cough
  • Dry or with yellow mucus
  • Worse in morning and night.

2.  Chest Pain in the Affected Area

  • Especially in Lobar or Segmental TB.

3.  Shortness of Breath

  • More common in Diffuse TB.
