title: [Use of low-dose danazol in adenosis of the breast].
abstract: Mammary adenosis is a very common affliction which, it has been calculated, affects between 7 and 15% of women of child-bearing age. The Authors report the results obtained during treatment of this condition with danazol in those different dosages (50, 100 and 200 mg per day). Results were evaluated at 3 and 6 months during therapy, and then 4 months after suspension of the treatment. Effects were evaluated in terms of changes in the symptomatic pain and in the actual clinical record. Side effects were also examined in terms of age and obstetric history. The therapy produced good results with all those dosages used. The lowest dosage gave the most favourable long-term effects, also in terms of the scarsity of side-effects.
