Objective. To evaluate the impact of antirecurrent therapy for uterine fibroids with the use of gynestril (mifepristone 50 mg) on the breast in reproductive-aged women.
Subjects and methods. Examinations were made in 110 reproductive-aged women who received antirecurrent therapy with gynestril (mifepristone) at a dose of 50 mg per day in continuous mode for 3 months after laparoscopic myomectomy. Benign breast dysplasia (BBD) was diagnosed based on general clinical examination, check-up, palpation, and ultrasonography of the breast in all the patients before and after gynestril administration, and three months later.
Results. Breast examination revealed that prior to gynestril use, 61.82% of the women had subjective signs (mastalgia, mastodynia) of BBD that was objectively verified by ultrasonography in 47.27% of the patients. The use of gynestril was ascertained to be associated with a significant (p < 0.05) decline in the number of women with subjective signs of BBD: from 61.85 to 30% after completion of 3-month therapy and to 31.82% 3 months after treatment termination and in that of women with objective signs of diffuse breast changes: from 40.91 to 21.82% after completion of 3-month therapy and to 19.84% 3 months later.
Conclusion. It was established that there was a significant decrease in the detection rate of BBD predominantly as a diffuse form during antirecurrent therapy with gynestril for uterine fibroids.
