Summary

Patients with mastopathy often have coexisting thyroid enlargement. Elevated prolactin levels may contribute to goiter development, suggesting hormonal evaluation is crucial for diagnosis and treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Oncology
  • Gynecology

Background:

  • Mastopathy is a common condition affecting women.
  • Thyroid dysfunction and hormonal imbalances are frequently observed in patients with mastopathy.
  • The relationship between mastopathy, thyroid gland, and prolactin levels requires further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess physical and ultrasonographic examinations in patients with mastopathy.
  • To evaluate the concentration of prolactin, thyrotropin, thyroxine, and triiodothyronine in the blood serum of patients with mastopathy.
  • To explore the correlation between mastopathy, thyroid gland size, and hormonal profiles.

Main Methods:

  • Physical and ultrasonographic examinations were performed on 65 patients with mastopathy and 30 healthy women.
  • Blood serum hormone levels (prolactin, thyrotropin, thyroxine, triiodothyronine) were measured.
  • Patients were divided into subgroups based on age and ovarian function, with exclusion criteria for pre-existing endocrinological diseases or medications.

Main Results:

  • Non-toxic goiter was significantly more prevalent (80%) in patients with mastopathy compared to controls.
  • Patients with mastopathy exhibited significantly higher mean prolactin levels.
  • Significantly lower triiodothyronine levels were observed in postmenopausal patients with mastopathy.

Conclusions:

  • Enlargement of the thyroid gland frequently coexists with mastopathy.
  • Prolactin may play a role in the development of goiter in patients with mastopathy.
  • Hormonal examinations, particularly for prolactin and thyroid hormones, are essential for diagnosing and managing mastopathy.
