External medications are prescribed only for diffuse forms of mastopathy. Gels, ointments and creams are combined with hormonal agents, phytocomplexes and vitamins or are suggested to be used separately.
It all depends on the composition of the external medicine and the patient’s health condition. Either a gynecologist or a mammologist should select the drug and duration of treatment.
A specialist knows best which cream to use, how often and in what quantities.
The main task of ointments and gels with synthetic hormones is to normalize the levels of estrogen and progesterone in the mammary glands. External preparations are absorbed into the muscle fibers and connective tissue of the breast, suppress the production of prolactin and relieve hormonal imbalance.
Plant-based creams and ointments relieve pain in the mammary glands, relieve inflammation and swelling. Some products also stimulate the resorption of small and medium-sized cysts and help with nipple discharge.
The main advantage of external preparations is their local effect. Synthetic hormones and natural ingredients are practically not absorbed into the blood. They, unlike hormonal pills, do not affect the functioning of internal organs and do not cause side effects.
Rules of application
Pharmacy gels and creams for mastopathy are rubbed into the mammary glands 1-2 times a day. The finished preparations contain a high concentration of active substances, so the course of treatment lasts from 4 to 8 months.
Homemade ointments are not as effective as pharmacy counterparts. Folk remedies are equated to herbal medicine, because they do not contain synthetic hormones, only organic extracts and extracts. Such ointments should be rubbed in at least 2 times a day and used 2-3 times longer. Preferably in combination with decoctions or other folk recipes for internal use.
Both pharmacy and homemade ointments should be rubbed into clean skin with soft circular movements. Do not press or forcefully squeeze your chest. Sudden movements can provoke an exacerbation of mastopathy and cause inflammation or rupture of the cyst. Ointments and gels are not applied to nipples and areolas, as well as to injured areas that have scratches, abrasions or bruises.

Is it possible to treat mastopathy with creams and ointments: a review of popular remedies and reviews from women
Creams and ointments for mastopathy are quite effective in treating pathology when used correctly.- They have a natural base and are safe compositions, and therefore can be used with virtually no restrictions.
- The range of such external preparations is wide, and the choice of the right remedy requires taking into account the individual characteristics of the female body and the degree of neglect of the disease.
- The etiology of mastopathy is associated with a violation of estrogen metabolism.
The essence of pathology
- Mastopathy is a fibrocystic disease with a benign course, causing a pathological process in the mammary gland of a dyshormonal nature.
- In fact, it is the response of the female body to a significant imbalance in its hormonal balance..
- As a result of this process, structural changes in glandular tissues occur, which is manifested by the proliferation of alveoli and connective tissue, the appearance of many fibrous and cystic components in the tissue structure, and the development of nodular or diffuse type compactions.
- Under the influence of unfavorable factors, this process goes the wrong way, as a result of which the content of so-called “dangerous” estrogens increases sharply, and they begin to predominate over “good” hormones.
In the mammary gland, “dangerous” estrogens change the balance between the epithelial and connective components. A hyperplastic process develops, causing the proliferation of connective tissues.
- This process leads to the appearance of nodes and compactions, and further progression of the disease can cause serious complications, including oncology.
- According to the nature of its manifestation, mastopathy is divided into 2 main types - nodular and diffuse.
- In the first case, isolated, separate seals in the form of nodules are detected.
- In the second case, numerous foci of compaction are recorded.
- Read about the symptoms of mastopathy here.
Local therapy options
The basic method of treating mastopathy is considered to be systemic hormonal therapy . It is based on the administration of drugs by injection or in tablet form.
Their active substance normalizes the process of hormonal metabolism.
External agents are applied only to the affected area and do not penetrate into the blood.
They can only act locally. A logical question arises about whether the treatment of mastopathy with creams and ointments is effective, i.e. by external means.
“Modern external medications are very effective in treating diffuse forms of mastopathy. They do not penetrate the bloodstream to provide a systemic effect, but once they enter muscle tissue, they help restore hormonal balance.
At the initial stage of treatment, a cure can be achieved by simply combining them with vitamin complexes. In case of advanced disease, gels, creams and ointments can only complement systemic medications.
The choice of remedy should be made only by a specialist, taking into account the characteristics of the body.”
The principle of action of external preparations is based on the normalization of the hormonal balance in the gland in terms of stabilizing the ratio of progesterone and estrogen.
When rubbed, they are absorbed into glandular tissues, penetrating muscle fibers and connective tissues. Here they block the production of prolactin, stopping the development of the imbalance.
The medicinal components of the drugs in question suppress the painful symptom, have anti-inflammatory and anti-edematous properties.
Special active substances accelerate the resorption of small benign formations.
Advantages and disadvantages
External agents have an important advantage - they do not affect the functioning of other internal organs, and therefore have virtually no side effects.
All processes take place at the local level, i.e. within the mammary gland. This allows you to use them even during pregnancy.
External products are usually prepared on a natural basis. The harmlessness of the ingredients leads to an almost complete absence of contraindications.
- This makes it possible to reduce the dosage of hormonal drugs and shorten the course of their use, which reduces the negative effects of drug treatment.
- It is complex treatment that is recognized as the optimal option for getting rid of mastopathy..
- What are the disadvantages of external products?
First of all, despite all their safety, caution should be exercised and used only as prescribed by a doctor. This is caused by the presence of individual intolerance to certain ingredients in some hypersensitive patients.
At an advanced stage, excessive confidence in the effectiveness of local therapy can negatively affect the results of treatment, because in these circumstances, potent drugs should not be neglected and their dosage reduced .
What types of mastopathy can be treated with ointments and creams? Practice shows that they are ineffective for the nodular type of pathology and are used mainly for the development of diffuse mastopathy.
Features of treatment
Creams, ointments and gels for mastopathy are applied by rubbing with hands into the mammary gland. This procedure is carried out 1-2 times a day.
The course of treatment depends on the type of remedy, the stage of the disease, the woman’s condition and is determined by the doctor.
On average it is 5-9 months. Homemade ointments are rubbed in 2-3 times a day, and the duration of treatment increases by 1.5-2 times.
When carrying out the procedure, you must follow certain rules:
- the product is applied in measured portions and distributed over the chest surface with the exception of the area around the nipple;
- the procedure is carried out only after thorough cleansing of the affected area;
- rubbing is done with light, smooth movements in a circle and by stroking;
- Do not put excessive pressure on the mammary gland - too sudden movements can provoke ruptures of the formations and an inflammatory reaction;
- Do not apply the product to damaged areas - scratches, pimples, abrasions, bruises.

Choosing the best cream for breast mastopathy
Many women over the age of 30 experience mastopathy. The main reason for its appearance is hormonal imbalance in the body. As a complex therapy, the doctor prescribes internal medications, injections, and external agents. Mastopathy cream is an essential component of complex treatment. It contains hormonal extracts or extracts of medicinal herbs that have anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties that relieve swelling and redness.
Basics of mastopathy treatment using creams
Additional medications for mastopathy in the form of a cream, ointment or gel help get rid of the problem locally. Thanks to external means, it is possible to reduce the dosage of tablets, thereby minimizing the impact on internal organs and speeding up treatment.
The principle of using the cream is quite simple. A small portion is applied to the chest area along with inflammation, avoiding the nipple area. While rubbing the drug, you can do a light massage, without putting excessive pressure on the reddened areas.
Correctly distribute the cream using stroking movements from bottom to top and from the center to the periphery. It is recommended to use the products twice a day, morning and evening.
This therapy helps stop the growth of existing foci of inflammation and prevent the formation of new ones.
Breast cream for mastopathy has virtually no contraindications, with the exception of intolerance to individual components in the composition. Unlike tablets, external preparations act only on the area of neoplasms, without affecting internal organs or changing hormonal levels. The doctor will recommend which cream to use, based on the results of tests and diagnostics.
How to choose the right breast cream for mastopathy
The most effective drugs are those that contain the hormone progesterone. Their main task is to reduce the amount of estrogen. They correct a woman’s hormonal levels, promote the gradual resorption of fibroids, and reduce swelling.
The selection of a particular cream should only be performed by a mammologist after a comprehensive diagnosis of the patient. Self-medication may not only not lead to the desired results, but also aggravate the situation. The rules for choosing a cream include:
- All medications are purchased only with full certification at pharmacies. Never buy drugs in markets, from friends or through illegal Internet sites. The effectiveness of treatment depends on the quality and originality of the cream;
- Each medicine contains components that are suitable for one woman, but cause persistent intolerance in another. To avoid allergic reactions, strictly adhere to your doctor’s recommendations, do not buy mastopathy cream on your own, the name of which you heard from a neighbor or friend;
- It is especially important not to self-medicate with hormonal drugs. Such drugs have contraindications, for example, pregnancy and concomitant diseases.
Properly selected creams, together with internal medications, can have a positive effect on the results of treatment within a short time and prevent further spread of the inflammatory process.

Then, an examination is carried out and, if necessary, the course of treatment is extended with some adjustments. This is decided by the doctor.
Treatment is aimed at eliminating the causes of mastopathy, stabilizing homeostasis, stopping the pathological process, and restoring normal breast function. At the same time, concomitant diseases of the genitourinary, digestive and endocrine systems can also be treated.
The following are used in therapy:
- drugs that calm and strengthen the nervous system, since stress is a trigger in the development of the disease;
- medications that model and strengthen the immune system;
- antibiotics are used in cases of severe disease and suspected degeneration of fibrocystic mastopathy into a malignant tumor;
- diuretics are used if the problem involves the genitourinary system or it is necessary to relieve edema;
- medications enriched with iodine, if the development of mastopathy was associated or provoked by iodine deficiency;
- drugs that correct the production of hormones (this is both a hormonal group of drugs and a non-hormonal one);
- medicinal gels and ointments that reduce pain symptoms and swelling, promoting the resorption of nodes;
- medicinal herbal infusions in tablets, syrups or tea;
- homeopathic remedies.
Treatment with hormones
Since it is the improper production of hormones such as estrogen and progesterone by the body that is the main cause of the appearance and development of all forms of mastopathy, hormonal drugs are an integral part of the complex treatment of mastopathy.
Hormonal pills for mastopathy.
Hormonal medications are no joke! Under no circumstances should you self-medicate with them, it is dangerous!
Hormonal drugs for mastopathy that suppress excessive estrogen production:
- “Tamoxifen” - together with its anti-estrogenic effect, reduces pain and reduces the risk of degeneration of cystic mastopathy into cancer. This drug also normalizes the menstrual cycle. The effect is cumulative and reaches its peak after three months. Side effects: dizziness, sweating, nausea.
- "Fareston" is a medicine for mastopathy of the mammary gland with the same effect as tamoxifen, but with a smaller list of side effects. The advantage of this drug is that the effect is noticeable after a month of taking the medicine.
- “Danazol” is a remedy for mastopathy, which at the hormonal level smoothes the structure of the mammary gland, and also activates the production of progesterone.
- Progestogens are drugs that simulate the function of the pituitary gland, which is responsible for the production of estrogen and progesterone. Among them, the best pills for mastopathy are: “Norkolut”, “Pregnil”, “Orgametril”, “Pregnin”.
- “Parlodel” is a medicine for fibrocystic mastopathy, reducing the size of tumors, simulating hormonal levels, reducing prolactin levels, and improving reproductive function.
- “Bromocriptine” is a drug used only when one is absolutely certain that there is no breast cancer. The tablets correct the menstrual cycle, reduce the size and number of nodular seals and have an analgesic effect.
Hormonal contraceptives are used to treat mastopathy such as premenstrual mastalgia in young women and the initial form of diffuse mastopathy. For mastopathy, hormone-containing medications are used, such as: Silest, Femoden, Marvelon, Mercilon.
List of the best medicines
Non-hormonal medications are aimed at mild correction of hormonal production, improvement of general condition, reduction of symptoms, restoration of the body and treatment of concomitant diseases with mastopathy.
Effective tablets for mastopathy in women.
Iodine tablets
Broad-spectrum drug "Klamin". Successfully fights toxins and free radicals, protects the liver, and models the immune system. It is so enriched with iodine that its intake absolutely replenishes the daily requirement of the substance.
Important! Before using medications that contain iodine, you need to take a test to measure the level of iodine in your body. An overdose of iodine is just as harmful as its deficiency.
Vitamin complex
The best vitamins offered in pharmacies are “Alphabet”. Its advantage is that all the vitamins in the complex are divided into three groups. Each group contains vitamins that are ideally combined with each other.
Not all vitamins and minerals are compatible when used simultaneously. This is taken into account in the Alphabet. Another plus is that the dosage of vitamins is selected taking into account the climatic conditions of residents of Russia and the CIS countries, their diet and eating habits.
Sedative medications
The psychological background influences the production of female hormones. Any stress is a violation of homeostasis, in which the ratio of hormones is also disrupted. Not only does the menstrual cycle in various phases affect emotions, but also the presence of inevitable stressful situations aggravates the lability of a woman’s psycho-emotional background.
Anti-anxiety medications help balance emotional responses and strengthen the nervous system. Such drugs as tincture of valerian and motherwort work well. If there are problems with the liver, you can use tablet forms. Other complexes such as “Persen”, “Novopassit” and the like are also very effective.
A course of treatment with Afobazole helps with prolonged stress.
Enzymes such as Dufolac, Eubicor and Wobenzym have a positive effect on the flora of the intestinal tract, which takes part in cleansing the body.
"Mastodion" - a homeopathic medicine for mastopathy contains a complex of herbs that suppress excessive estrogen production. At the same time, the drug is not hormonal, which makes it perfect for women who are afraid of hormonal medications.
Diuretics
They are used for treatment if premenstrual syndrome with mastopathy of the mammary glands is accompanied by swelling of the extremities. It is impossible to single out specific best medicines, but it is recommended to use mild remedies.
Hepatoprotectors
The liver is actively involved in processing estrogen, so it needs to be protected. Essentiale and Karsil are perfect for this.
Painkillers
For severe pain that is unbearable, painkillers are used. You have to be careful with them. Some drugs are contraindicated for asthma and liver disease. Before buying them, you should study the list of side effects and contraindications.
Gels and ointments
Also, all kinds of external preparations – gels, ointments, suspensions for making compresses – significantly help in relieving the symptoms of mastopathy. When choosing them, consultation with a doctor is required, since they cannot be used with certain seals.

As you can see, pharmaceuticals offer modern women a huge choice when treating mastopathy with drugs. The choice should be based on your own information and literacy, as well as necessarily on the recommendations of the attending physician. Mastopathy can be treated successfully only when an integrated approach is used.
