[Treatment with danazol of breast adenosis. A comparative note]

The term "mammary adenosis" describes chronic congestion of the mammary gland, whose principle symptom is painfulness. The Authors report the results obtained during therapy, which utilised three different pharmacological treatments: danazol, progestogen vitamin compounds. Evaluations made were both subjective (pain) and objective (clinical details), classified in those levels: recovery, improvement, persistence of symptoms. Results were evaluated after 3 and months of treatment, and then at four months after suspension of treatment; these were then compared. The best results were obtained with danazol, although there was a greater number of side effects.
