Abstract:
Breast sinus may form as a complication of breast abscess due to inadequate drainage of the abscess or it may be due to injudicious antibiotic treatment. Breast abscesses are frequently encountered among women in their childbearing years, particularly during lactation, primarily attributed to Staphylococcus aureus infection. In instances of hospital-acquired cases, a notable propensity for penicillin resistance is observed, and the most efficacious course of treatment involves the utilization of surgical incision for abscess drainage, under modern method. Owing to the prolonged adverse effects stemming from conventional pharmacotherapy, patients often incline toward the domain of homeopathy for a safe, mild, and efficacious therapeutic approach. A 36-year-old female sought care at the outpatient department of D.N.De Homoeopathic Medical College and Hospital, presenting with pus discharge from three distinct opening on the left breast, persisting for the last 3 months following a surgical incision of her breast abscess. This case is improved as per modified Naranjo criteria and clinical evidence of gradual decrease of pus discharges in the affected area subsequent to the administration of individualized homoeopathic medicine Silicea. The wound healed properly within five months of follow- up, with comprehensive documentation meticulously executed in the form of photographic records, each captured from the same perspective and under consistent lighting conditions at every subsequent visit.
