Management of cyclical breast pain

C A Gateley et al. Br J Hosp Med. 1990 May.

Abstract

Cyclical breast pain or mastalgia occurs in up to 70% of the female population. After exclusion of breast cancer and proper reassurance, only 15% of patients initially presenting will require drug treatment. Using bromocriptine, danazol and evening primrose oil some 77% of patients treated can obtain useful relief of their symptoms.
