    Abstract

    In this randomized double-blind clinical study the efficacy of an enzyme preparation (Wobenzym) was compared with hormone therapy (Lynestrenol) in 29 women with mastopathy. There was a significantly greater decrease in number of hardenings of the mammary gland after 2 months of enzyme therapy than Lynestrenol therapy: improvement in the former group was 100%, in the latter group 78.6%. No significant difference was observed regarding the numbers of lumps, or number and size of cysts, sensitivity to touch, feeling of tension, spontaneous pain, and pain on pressure. The efficacy of both medicines is valued as good. Wobenzym therapy was tolerated very well. No side effects appeared at all. Enzyme therapy is an alternative, low-risk therapy for the management of mastopathy, which does not interfere with the already upset hormonal balance of the patients.
