Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of indole carbinol medication (Indinol Forto) in treating benign breast dysplasia (BBD).
Materials and methods: The study included 274 women aged 29–52 years who presented with complaints of breast pain: group A consisted of 109 women with BBD (BI-RADS 2) who were prescribed complex treatment with indole carbinol-based medication; group B included 79 patients with BBD (BI-RADS 3) who underwent surgery followed by complex treatment with indole carbinol-based medication; group C consisted of 86 women with BBD (BI-RADS 2) who refused to receive medical treatment.
Results: At the end of the six-month course of treatment with indole carbinol, there was a significant improvement in health and a decrease or disappearance of mastalgia: only 8.3% of women in group A (p1<0.001), 12.6% of women in group B (p2<0.001), and 76.7% of women in group C had complaints of mastodynia. Mild mammographic density was noted in 74.3% of patients in group A, in 72.3% of women in group B and in 46.5% of patients in group C (p1<0.001, p2<0.001); moderate density was noted in 20.1%, 19.0% and 32.6% of patients (p1=0.050, p2=0.048), respectively; severe density was noted in 3.7%, 3.8% and 12.8% of women (p1=0.018, p2=0.039), respectively; very severe density was noted in 1.8%, 1.3% and 8.1% of patients (p1=0.038, p2=0.041), respectively.
Conclusion: Indole carbinol medication may be recommended for widespread use as a first-line medication in women with increased breast density.
