How big is the list of drugs for mastopathy of the mammary glands?

About the disease

Mastopathy is the growth (benign neoplasm) of breast tissue.
It is quite common in women of all ages and occurs against the background of hormonal imbalance. Risk group :

• girls and young women (from 12 to 18 years old) during puberty, breast growth, the onset and establishment of menstruation;
• women, after 45-50 years, with the onset of menopause, menopause;
• women who have not given birth.

Breast mastopathy can also be observed in:

• newborns;
• children;
• and even in teenage boys and men.

Factors contributing to the development of mastopathy:

• genetic inheritance;
• late birth;
• abortions;
• short lactation period;
• taking hormonal drugs (contraceptives);
• diseases of the genital area;
• mammary gland injuries;
• diseases of the endocrine system;
• bad habits;
• nervous system disorders (stress, depression);
• mono diet;
• passion for solarium or excessive tanning;
• not regular sex life.

Symptoms of the disease:

• feeling of heaviness, pain, tingling in the mammary gland before the onset of menstruation;
• breast swelling, changes in shape and size;
• compaction around the nipple circles;
• discharge from the nipples (clear, purulent or bloody);
• the appearance of painful lumps in the chest (nodules, cysts).

Classification of the disease:

Doctors, in clinical practice, classify mastopathy into nodular and diffuse, which in turn are divided into several types. To make an accurate diagnosis, it is necessary to undergo an examination.

Attention! The diagnosis is made by a mammologist based on the results of an examination: breast ultrasound, mammography, laboratory tests.

• Diffuse mastopathy. On palpation, painful lumps are detected that have a lobulated or granular surface, of varying sizes, without clear boundaries. Diffuse mastopathy is characterized by compaction of glandular tissue, deformation of the ducts, discharge from the nipples, and the formation of a large number of cysts. Pain sensations can be of different types: aching, tingling, pulling. In the later stages of the disease, a change in the shape of the mammary gland occurs.
• Nodular mastopathy is divided into fibronodular, diffuse nodular and cystic nodular. It is characterized by a benign proliferation of breast tissue with the formation of compactions: small nodules, cystic capsules or nodular compactions of various sizes. At the initial stage, the disease does not manifest itself. Over time, painful sensations appear, which intensify before the onset of menstruation. Patients are often irritated, they experience nervous breakdowns and insomnia. The disease can develop in one or two mammary glands at once. Discharge from the nipples varies in color and quantity.

At the first symptoms of the disease, you should consult a mammologist.

Remember : there is always a risk of a benign tumor degenerating into a malignant one.

Local agents

To reduce lumps, relieve pain and relieve inflammation in the mammary glands, compresses are used, as well as products in the form of a gel or cream.

Compresses with Dimexide reduce pain and prevent the development of inflammatory processes

They have a good effect:

1. Dimexide is a drug with an anesthetic, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effect. Used as compresses for 9 days up to twice a day. The product is quite toxic, so it should be applied with caution and diluted with water. Dimexide is not indicated for liver problems or kidney diseases. For severe pain arising from mastopathy, you can add painkillers to the drug, for example, Analgin. Dimexide is not the main treatment for breast diseases. As a rule, compresses with this remedy are used as an auxiliary method.

   Mastofit is available not only in the form of a cream, but also in the form of tablets

2. Mastofit is a creamy product that helps relieve swelling and tension in the mammary glands caused by impaired microcirculation and fluid retention in the tissues. The drug can be used to prevent pathological changes and prevent skin aging. Active substances of natural origin promote the resorption of seals. Mastofit can be applied to the glands not only for mastopathy, but also for engorgement and pain associated with the menstrual cycle. Indole contained in the cream provides tissue detoxification, has an antioxidant effect, and prevents the development of pathological tumors. Fucus saturates tissues with essential substances, improves blood supply, enhances microcirculation, thereby reducing swelling.

   An applicator is used to apply the gel to ensure an accurate dosage of the active substance

3. Progestogel is a gel based on progesterone, which is necessary to reduce the synthesis of estrogen. Hyperestrogenism leads to changes in the mammary glands, mastodynia, and nipple discharge. This remedy is applied topically and can be used by those women for whom hormone-based drugs are contraindicated, since Progestogel substances are absorbed into the blood in minimal quantities without causing side effects.
4. The healer is a cream that can also be used for mastopathy and fluid stagnation in the breast tissue. Natural extracts, oils, beeswax improve blood circulation, relieve engorgement, and relieve pain in the glands. In addition to the therapeutic effect, women also note a cosmetic effect, which manifests itself in increased skin elasticity and restoration of breast shape. Calendula and calendula extract help prevent the development of malignant tumors and relieve inflammation.

The herb string, which is part of the Lekar cream, has a lot of healing properties.

Treatment Options

Classical medicine offers various methods of treating mastopathy: hormonal drugs, non-hormonal treatment, surgical intervention.

• Surgical treatment The decision to operate on a patient is made in exceptional cases, when there is a suspicion of a malignant tumor, with the rapid growth of fibroadenoma. The operation for nodular mastopathy lasts about half an hour, using local or general anesthesia. During sectoral resection, the tumor and a small sector of the mammary gland are excised. During enucleation, the tumor (cyst) itself is removed (husked). Patients are discharged from the hospital within 24 hours, and the sutures are removed on an outpatient basis on the 10th day.
• Puncture If a large, single cyst has formed, patients are treated by puncture. When performing a puncture, the doctor punctures the cyst and pumps out the fluid using a special syringe. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and the patient goes home the same day. If after puncture the nodular cyst appears again, enucleation is prescribed.
• Drug treatment of mastopathy Medicines for mastopathy begin to be taken only after examination and establishment of an accurate diagnosis. Only a specialist determines the dosage and duration of taking medications for mastopathy.

Herbal remedies

You should consult your doctor about how to treat mastopathy with herbal preparations.

Taking any medications for mastopathy should be discussed with a mammologist

The best remedies to improve the condition of the mammary glands are the following:

1. Mastodinon is a natural medicine for mastopathy, containing a number of extracts that are useful for the female body, helping to normalize the balance of hormones, get rid of engorgement, swelling, and soreness in the breasts. Since mastopathy in some patients is accompanied by dysfunctions of the nervous and digestive systems, the use of the medicine helps improve the condition of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and get rid of irritability. The form of the drug - drops or tablets - is prescribed based on the presence of concomitant diseases and the patient’s preferences. Mastodinon in rare cases can cause skin rashes.

   The use of Mastodinon is recommended not only for mastopathy, but also for menstrual irregularities

2. Klamin is a product consisting of kelp, which is a natural source of iodine. It is used not only for thyroid dysfunction, but also for diseases of the breast and reproductive system. Synthetic iodine preparations, which have a number of side effects, can be replaced with Klamin with the permission of a doctor. In addition to saturating the body with this essential substance, which promotes the synthesis of thyroid hormones, the drug can be used for vitamin deficiency and gastrointestinal disorders. If mastopathy is accompanied by thyrotoxicosis, such drugs are not prescribed.
3. Phytolon is a relatively new drug that helps reduce pain in the mammary glands and restore the correct balance of hormones in the body. The product is indicated for multiple cysts and compactions. For toxic goiter and signs of thyrotoxicosis, Fitolon is contraindicated.

   Phytolon is a powerful natural immunomodulator and antioxidant.

4. Wobenzym is a natural remedy containing a number of enzymatic substances that help not only improve the condition of the digestive system, but also reduce the symptoms of mastopathy. Improvement in the condition of the mammary glands while taking Wobenzym is associated with the normalization of intestinal function, which reduces the reabsorption into the blood of hormones that are excreted in bile. Anti-inflammatory drugs taken in combination with Wobenzym act much more effectively, which is very important for inflammatory processes in the reproductive organs and mammary glands. This enzymatic agent improves immunity and has a diuretic effect.
