title: [Aetiology, diagnosis und therapy of mastopathy and mastodynia. Experiences of treatment with mastodynon (author's transl)].
abstract: The aetiology of mastopathy and mastodynia has not yet been fully explained. Hormonal dysregulation with relative or complete hyperoestrogenism, or a deficiency of androgens or progesterones has led to treatment with gestagens or gestagen-active preparations. The treatment of 112 patients with Mastodynon has shown a good result in 78% of cases, the risks and side effects of the treatment being small. Careful diagnosis with all of the possibilities available to us today and clinical supervision during the treatment are necessary in order not to overlook malignant processes.
