    The bleeding latex helps to seal the wound. It would help to know what plant you have. Post a picture of it if possible.

    Does not sound like a cactus (they usually don't have white latex sap), more like an Euphorbia. Probably not much to do about the broken off branches, but a photo would make it easier to tell what to do.
