Phytotherapy in the management of women of reproductive age with dyshormonal gynecological pathology and mastalgia. (English)

Almost 70% of women suffer from breast pain during their life. Mastalgia reduces the quality of life of women, increases their fear of breast cancer and causes deterioration of the psycho-emotional state of women. Different forms of mastalgia require different medical tactics. To date, there are no generally accepted schemes for the treatment of cyclic mastalgia both in benign dysplasia of the mammary glands and in combined dyshormonal gynecological diseases. The objective: to study the effect of combined herbal remedies on the severity of cyclic mastalgia (primary outcome), menstrual function and side effects (secondary outcomes) in women of reproductive age with dyshormonal combined gynecological pathology. Materials and methods. 72 women from 25 to 39 years old with mastalgia participated in the study, they were divided into groups depending on the prescribed therapy and combined dyshormonal pathology (benign mammary dysplasia (BMD), genital endometriosis). The examination included an anthropometric study, ultrasonographic examination of the pelvic organs, mammary glands, determination of the levels of LH, FSH, TSH, prolactin and ovarian steroid hormones. Results. In 95.8% of the women of the studied cohort, the prolactin level ranged from 28.3 ng/ml to 37.6 ng/ml (on average – 33.7±5.4 ng/ml). Hormonal imbalance in patients with both combined dyshormonal pathology and monotopic cyclic mastalgia was characterized by the absence of pronounced hyperestrogenia in the I phase of the menstrual cycle (MC), relative hyperestrogenia in the II phase of the MC with an increase in the E2/P ratio from 5.1±0.2 to 13.4±0.3 compared to healthy women. 26.4% of patients came to the examination when the pain according to VAS was an average of 6.2±1.5 points, 73.6% of women suffered from mastalgia from 1 to 5 years and sought medical help due to the intensity of the pain syndrome according to VAS 9.2±0.7 points. Conclusions. The results of research proved the effectiveness and safety of the use of combined herbal preparations for the treatment of mastalgia. The use of the first combined herbal preparation was effective in 95% in eliminating and reducing the severity of cyclic mastalgia (primary result), the second herbal preparation – in 100% of cases in women of reproductive age with dyshormonal pathology of reproductive organs and BMD. The high efficiency of the use of the second phytocomplex for the treatment of mastalgia in patients with BMD and genital endometriosis without the additional use of hormonal drugs can be explained by the effect of the drug on the normalization of the prolactin level and the E²/P ratio.
