Mastalgia, or breast pain, is a common complaint that may affect up to 70% of women in their lifetime. Very few studies conducted in Maharashtra regarding study of cyclical mastalgia at tertiary care centre. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different treatment modalities in management of Cyclic mastalgia. This was a prospective observational study. Total 110 eligible females were enrolled in study. There was no signicant association between age of female with mastalgia & clinical presentation (p 0.348). (Table 3) But there was signicant association between menstrual cycle & clinical presentation (p 0.031). Tab.Centchroman is the most effective treatment modality for cyclic mastalgia among all the options studied. However, we recommend advising patients to try non-pharmacological treatment modalities rst. If the mastalgia persists, Tab.Centchroman is a better treatment option than topical Diclofenac gel, owing to its ease of administration and cost-effectiveness.
