All women included in the trial had complaints on cycle bilateral breast pain (mastodynia) which appeared 8–10–12 days before menses. Diffuse seals and tenderness have been discovered via palpation. Diffuse fibrocystic hyperplasia with dominated cystic component was found in 47.6% of women and was recognized as most frequent pathology based on the results of ultra-sound breast examination. Combined treatment of Progestogel® and Vitokan leads to reduction of mastodynia symptoms in 76.8% women after the 1st month of treatment/dynamic observation and in 95% of women after the next 3 months.
