Mastopathy in clinical examples: so similar and so different
Aim of study. Using specific clinical examples to analyze the therapeutic and diagnostic approaches in patients with dyshormonal breast diseases (DBD).Material and methods. Based on the data of the anamnesis, clinical and laboratory examination (ultrasound of the mammary glands and thyroid gland, the results of hormonal examination, MRI of the brain and pituitary gland with contrast enhancement), as well as data from the literature, two clinical cases of DBD were analyzed in detail.Results. The presented clinical data indicate that hyperprolactinemia is the main marker of hormonal distress in patients with DBD, and MRI of the brain reveals structural changes that lead to an increase in prolactin levels. With moderate hyperprolactinemia, the administration of herbal dopaminomimetics leads to a decrease in the symptoms of DBD and allows to correct the concomitant hormonal pathology.Conclusions. It is advisable to include MRI of the brain in the scope of examination of patients with DBD, as well as to apply a differentiated approach to the management of patients. One can start therapy with herbal preparations that have a complex positive effect on the female reproductive system, Mastodynon® or Cyclodynon®.
