The growth that occurs in the tissues of the mammary glands, which is benign in nature, but has the ability to progress to the stage of oncology, is called mastopathy. This is a serious disease that requires consultation with a doctor and following his prescriptions.
The method of treating mastopathy is selected based on the level of severity of the disease and concomitant diseases. The main methods are drug treatment and surgery. Diffuse forms of the tumor can be treated with medications. Nodular neoplasms are treated through surgery.
Fibrocystic mastopathy requires a systematic approach to treatment, especially conservative treatment. Drugs and dosage are selected individually, based on the presence of concomitant pathologies, tumors and other factors. Considering the relationship between the endocrine system and gynecology, the prescribed treatment is carried out with hormonal drugs.
Antiestrogens occupy a special place - Tamoxifen is the most well-known drug aimed at eliminating the increased amount of estrogens. Raloxifene is another drug that blocks alpha-estrogen receptors in the endometrium and mammary gland, eliminating benign neoplasms. "Bromocriptine" is also widely used in gynecology, and for mastopathy it is prescribed to suppress excess hormones.
Gonadotropins successfully show themselves in the treatment of mastopathy. Danazol, Nafarelin, Buserilin and their analogues block the function of the pituitary gland, suppressing the production of unnecessary hormones. Livial is used to treat women with menopausal disorders. The drug suppresses the secretion of gonadotropins.
Hormonal contraceptives play an important role in the treatment process - it has been proven that regular use of drugs throughout the year reduces the possibility of getting sick by 75%, and the development of breast cancer by 2 times.
Progestogens are also actively involved in the treatment process - Progestogel and Duphaston contain progesterone, which is necessary to restore the function of the mammary glands. The purpose, dosage and method of administration are prescribed by the attending physician.
Non-hormonal drugs are used to reduce swelling and pain, respectively, and to prevent fibrotic changes. Indomethacin, Naproxen and Ibuprofen do an excellent job of these tasks.
Enzymes, as practice and regular monitoring of patients show, also play a significant role in treatment - Wobenzym and its analogues help relieve inflammation, swelling and boost the immune system.
Phytohormones contained in sprouted wheat grains, seeds and berries have anti-cancer properties, so they should be added to the diet of patients.

Doctors' recommendations
Regardless of the method of treatment and the severity of the disease, it is recommended to follow a number of rules:
- reduce, or better yet eliminate, the consumption of coffee, strong tea and cocoa;
- get rid of addictions to alcohol and smoking;
- follow the rules of healthy lifestyle;
- add fish, boiled or baked lean meat, vegetables, fruits and cereals to the menu;
- wear underwear of your size and appropriate shape;
- Avoid exposure to sunlight and heat (baths, solariums).
As a result of incorrect, untimely treatment or lack thereof, a complication in the form of oncology is possible. For this reason, it is important to perform breast self-exams, visit your doctor regularly, and follow his or her prescriptions. The earlier the disease is diagnosed, the easier it will be to get rid of it without serious consequences.
Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics
A complex homeopathic remedy used in gynecology, under the influence of the components of which there is a decrease in the concentration of prolactin in the blood and the prerequisites for the reverse development of the pathological process in fibrocystic mastopathy .
In addition, with the use of Mastodinon, the body normalizes the production of pituitary gonadotropic hormones , which leads to the elimination of progesterone deficiency and the resulting infertility and menstrual cycle disorders .
The therapeutic effect is usually observed after 6 weeks of use of the drug.
The dopaminergic effect of Mastodinon is the combined effect of its constituent components. In this regard, it is not possible to conduct studies of the pharmacodynamic profile of the drug.
It is impossible to trace all the components together using biostudies or markers.
Additional treatment of mastopathy
Whatever disease occurs, it is not enough to treat it with medications - it is important to change your diet and lifestyle. Mastopathy is no exception, so the quality of nutrition plays an important role. If the patient eats a diet rich in fats and meat products, the hormonal levels may change over the course of several years, and sometimes even months.
The global community of oncologists recommends including anti-carcinogenic products and components in the daily menu. We are talking about bran, fat-soluble vitamins, vegetables and some types of fruits, as they contain fiber.
Vitamin complexes are necessary to replenish important microelements and minerals in the body, because in most cases it is their lack that provokes the occurrence of pathologies. Particular attention is paid to vitamins of groups A, E, B and D. Their deficiency can cause the growth of tumors and not only in the breast.
You can compensate for the deficiency not only with vitamin preparations, but also by expanding the list of products for daily use:
- Group A vitamins are found in large quantities in milk, liver, eggs, and fish oil. At the same time, you should not overeat these foods, otherwise there is a risk of fat deposits that play a negative role in the formation of mastopathy;
- vitamin C, which has a wide spectrum of action that enhances the body’s capabilities, is found in cabbage, bell pepper, and citrus fruits;
- B vitamins are essential for the body, including folic acid. The main content is cereals, bran, liver, greens.
Adaptogens, the so-called substances of plant origin that can stimulate the internal resources of the body, are also active helpers in getting rid of pathology. Ginseng, eleutherococcus, Chinese lemongrass, flower pollen and others significantly increase the body's resistance to tumors.

The drops contain from 47 to 53% (v/v) ethyl alcohol . The content of 53% alcohol in 30 drops of the medicine is equivalent to 0.39 grams of alcohol. The same amount of alcohol is contained in 10 ml of beer or 4 ml of wine. This should be taken into account when prescribing Mastodinon to patients with alcohol dependence.
This must also be taken into account when prescribing drops to patients who are at high risk: for example, patients diagnosed with liver disease or epilepsy .

What can replace Mastodinon? This question often arises among women with hypersensitivity to the components of the drug, as well as among those who, for a number of reasons, want to save a little money (Mastodinon cannot be classified as inexpensive medicines), but only the attending physician can answer it.
The choice of analogue depends on the indications and characteristics of the disease.
Mastopol or Mastodinon - which is better?
The drugs are analogues: having differences in composition, they help fight the same problem - mastopathy . Both remedies are homeopathic, while Mastopol is prescribed exclusively to patients over 18 years of age. Mastodinon tablets are approved for use in the treatment of adolescents over 12 years of age.
Mastodinon or Cyclodinone - which is better?
If Mastodinon is a drug prepared from 6 medicinal plants, then the basis of Cyclodinone is a dry extract from the fruits of Vitex sacred. In addition, the drug differs from Mastodinon in the composition of auxiliary components.
Indications for the use of Cyclodinone are:
- mastalgia or mastodynia ;
- menstrual cycle disorders associated with progesterone deficiency ;
- premenstrual syndrome.
Both drugs are equally well tolerated by patients and rarely provoke unwanted reactions. The doctor must decide which of them is more suitable for each specific case.
Which is better - Mastodinon or Mamoclam?
Comparing these drugs, according to experts, is not entirely correct. For some, Mastodinon is more effective, for others - Mamoclam . And this depends primarily on the form of mastopathy .
If you need to relieve tissue swelling and reduce pain, then it is definitely more advisable to use Mamoclam . If the goal of treatment is to normalize prolactin , then Mastodinon is a more suitable remedy.
Analogs
There are many options for how to spot Mastodinon, but only three of them will be considered. Similar drugs:
Mastofit
Evalar (Russia).
Form: cream. Price: 183 rubles for 50 milliliters. Mastofit is taken to normalize metabolic processes and solve problems with swelling in the breast tissue. Application: rub onto the surface until completely absorbed.
Form: tablets. Price: 249 rubles for 100 pieces. It is considered a comprehensive product that monitors the well-being of the mammary gland and the factors that provoke changes. Application: take two tablets three times a day for two months.
Pros:
- price
- works immediately after several doses.
Minuses:
- frequent use
- dietary supplement
- stains clothes
- has an unpleasant odor.
Mastopol
ALKOY LLC (Russia).
Form: tablets. Price: 539 rubles for 60 pieces. Homeopathic and restorative drug for normalizing the functioning of the mammary glands. Three tablets are used per day sublingually, observing the interval between meals.
Pros:
- rapid elimination of the disease
- high efficiency
- natural substances.
Minuses:
- high price.
Among the analogues, you need to decide whether Mastopol or Mastodinon is the drug that copes with the task better and may need to be replaced.
Let’s compare: for Mastopol it will take two months to show the final result, while treatment with Mastodinon occurs within three months. But the drugs helped equally well to get rid of mastopathy and other breast ailments. Therefore, the result depends on the body and its reaction to the components of the medicine. Both are recommended for use by experienced doctors.
Also, medications that can boost immunity, protect against inflammation and bacteria, and also get rid of the symptoms of mastopathy include Mastophyton in the form of tea or capsules for internal use.
Alcohol compatibility
Scientists who study issues related to mastopathy have found that alcohol has a negative effect on women’s breasts: any alcoholic beverages, if consumed regularly, significantly increase the risk of developing mastopathy and subsequently cancer .
It is not known exactly how alcohol affects the breasts. However, most experts are inclined to believe that after drinking alcohol in the female body, the concentration of female sex hormones , which have a negative impact on breast health.
Therefore, giving up alcohol is an important point not only in the treatment, but also in the prevention of fibrocystic disease .
Reviews about Mastodinon
There are a lot of reviews about Mastodinon. And most of them are positive, as evidenced by the fairly high rating of the product on specialized sites where people share their impressions of certain drugs (Mastodinon is recommended as an effective remedy by about 88% of consumers).
The main advantages that consumers mention on forums are the naturalness and high effectiveness of the medicine (although the effect does not appear immediately, subjective feelings of improvement are noted no earlier than a few weeks after the start of therapy), as well as the absence of hormonal components in its composition.
In reviews of Mastodinon drops, almost all women note their unpleasant odor and bitter taste.
As for reviews of Mastodinon tablets, the only drawback of the drug in this dosage form, according to patients, is that they need to be taken for a long time (as, indeed, drops). However, if you need to use the product outside the home, tablets for most of them turn out to be much more convenient than drops.
However, there are also negative reviews. In most cases, they are associated with side effects that were noted during the use of tablets or drops.
The medicine contains as many as 6 herbal components, therefore, if you are individually intolerant to at least one of them, the possibility of itchy rashes on the skin, and in especially serious cases, urticaria , which turns into Quincke's edema .
If the formation of prolactin is excessively suppressed, the development of the sebaceous glands is also disrupted and, as a result, acne appears. Due to increased estrogen , weight gain may also occur with the appearance of fat deposits in the thighs and abdomen (female pattern).
As for the reviews of specialists, by analyzing them, we can come to the conclusion that Mastodinon is not an etiotropic , but a complex homeopathic remedy . This means that tablets and drops do a good job of eliminating the manifestations of the disease, but have virtually no effect on the cause of its development.
Since the effect of the drug is aimed at reducing prolactin , before prescribing it, you should be tested for the content of this hormone in the body. During the course of treatment, it is recommended to periodically undergo appropriate tests, which will allow you to keep the decline process under control.
When normal values are achieved, it is necessary to consult your doctor for further recommendations and monitoring the condition of the breast tissue .
Mastodinon
Mastodinon is a “female” homeopathic medicine used for menstrual disorders, fibrocystic disease (mastopathy) and the ominous syndrome for everyone around us, abbreviated as “PMS”. And for women themselves, premenstrual syndrome does not bode well, monthly “giving” them a bad mood, swelling, headache, mastalgia and other unpleasant symptoms that are harbingers of impending menstruation. As sad as it is to admit, some women have resigned themselves to the unenviable role of “PMS sufferer,” taking this syndrome for granted. Meanwhile, scientists completely refuse to recognize PMS as a natural state of the female body and consider it a real disease that needs to be treated. How? This question has long been answered by a German company specializing in the development and production of herbal medicines. One of its main creations, the drug Mastodinon, has an exclusive standardized composition and a reliably confirmed dopaminergic effect, guaranteeing a predictable therapeutic response. This homeopathic medicine has virtually no analogues today. Its active ingredients include exclusively natural plant substances: in advertising language, “no chemicals.” Common twig normalizes the balance of female sex hormones in the body. Its dopaminergic effect helps reduce the secretion of prolactin, thereby eliminating hyperprolactinemia - one of the main causes of mastodynia (discomfort in the mammary glands) and PMS. Basil foliage has long been used for severe menopause and uterine pain, and also as a means of harmonizing the menstrual cycle. Bittersweet is used for disorders of the nervous system and psycho-vegetative crises. European cyclamen has a sedative, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effect. The iris variegated helps alleviate the symptoms of migraines. Tiger lily is used for increased aggressiveness and painful menstruation.
Mastodinon acts in several directions at once: smoothly, without sudden changes, restores normal hormonal balance, relieves pain, prevents the development of pathological processes in the mammary glands and suppresses anxiety and irritability associated with PMS, providing a woman with a state of psychological comfort during “critical days.” An important property of the drug is the ability to use it without looking at the current phase of the menstrual cycle. In addition, it is well tolerated, allowing it to be used for a long time.
Mastodinon is available in two dosage forms: oral drops and tablets. In the first case, the drug is used 30 drops 2 times a day (the optimal time of administration is morning and evening). It is allowed to dilute the drops in a small amount of water or other liquid (to taste). As for the tablets, it is recommended to take them 1 twice a day, with a sufficient amount of water. The duration of taking mastodinone should be at least 3 months, without interruptions during the menstrual cycle. A clear improvement in the patient’s condition, as a rule, is noted already at 7 weeks of pharmacotherapy. If, after finishing taking mastodinone, complaints recur, you should consult with your doctor and decide to continue the course of medication. It is recommended to shake Mastodinone drops before use. Since the liquid form of the drug contains ethyl alcohol, it should not be used after effective anti-alcohol treatment, and if the patient has a history (or current) of liver disease, consultation with a doctor is required before starting treatment. Taking mastodinone does not exclude the use of other drugs - no cases of negative drug interactions have been described to date, with the exception of one small detail: dopamine antagonists somewhat weaken the effect of mastodinone.
