Side effects mastodinon, like any other drug of plant origin, expressed slightly. Nevertheless, they have and to consider when assigning this drug women. In the case of significant side effects mastodinon overturned.

What determines the side effects mastodinon

Mastodinon enhances the effectiveness of dopamine - a substance that is produced by the hypothalamus (part of the brain responsible for the endocrine system). Dopamine suppresses pituitary hormone prolactin secretion and thus has a harmonizing effect on the synthesis of female hormones. Prolactin is the main "culprit" of the pathological processes in the female body as menstrual disorders, premenstrual syndrome, breast pain associated with the menstrual cycle, breast Breast - the mirror Women's Health .

This is because that prolactin reduces the secretion of pituitary hormones that stimulate the synthesis of female sex hormones, because that violated the processes of oocyte maturation, ovulation Ovulation - How to determine as accurately as possible?   (release of the egg from the ovary) and the functioning of the corpus luteum secretion of progesterone. Under the influence of mastodinon normal second phase of the menstrual cycle and wound violation of the ratio between estrogen and progesterone Progesterone - norm and pathology   - The female hormones that ensure the normal functioning of the reproductive system of women.

Prolactin stimulates the proliferation of mammary tissue, connective tissue formation and expansion of the ducts of the mammary glands. Inhibition of the synthesis of prolactin causing regression of pathological processes in the mammary glands.

Side effects mastodinon associated with hormonal imbalances in women. Therefore mastodinon encouraged to nominate only after a preliminary examination. It is particularly important in the study of blood hormones.

Side effects mastodinon metabolism

Prolactin is a hormone is superfluous, it performs its function in the body. Dangerous its increased concentration in the blood. If the formation is suppressed by too much prolactin, may cause acne, as under the influence of prolactin properly developed sebaceous glands. Acne arise in violation of their development.

It is also possible increase in body weight, which is due to the increased secretion of estrogen - the female sex hormones, under the influence of which is the formation of the body of the female type, with the deposition of fat in the abdomen and thighs.

Mastodinon side effects on the central nervous system

The structure includes an extract mastodinon K. prostrata, which is a feature of the exciting action on the central nervous system. Under the influence of this substance in some women may appear motor and mental excitement, headaches, confusion and even hallucinations (the woman begins to see, hear or feel what is actually there). Sometimes, on the contrary, there is a weakness, depressed mood (depression).

Very rarely exposed mastodinon disrupted hypothalamus gets off the menstrual cycle appear (or worse), breast pain.

The appearance of such side effects are rare and largely depends on the individual characteristics of the central nervous system of women. In such cases, the reception mastodinon should be discontinued.

Mastodinon side effects on the gastrointestinal tract

Mastodinon tablets contain lactose. Side effects mastodinon in the gastrointestinal tract in most cases related to the individual characteristics of a woman - a lack in her body enzymes for processing of simple sugars, especially milk sugar - lactose, which is required for the assimilation of a special enzyme - lactase.

When simple sugars are not digested in the gut, it causes bloating (flatulence), pain, spastic nature, sometimes - diarrhea. Then tablets mastodinon be replaced by a drop in the composition of which no simple sugars.

Side effects mastodinon in the form of allergic reactions

Herbal substances often cause various allergic reactions. The composition mastodinon includes six extracts of plants, each of which can cause allergic reactions. The fact that these plant compounds are part of the drug in the microscopic doses (mastodinon - homeopathic medicine, and homeopathy Homeopathy - the placebo effect in the service of medicine?   always use ultra-low doses of the drugs) is irrelevant - allergic reactions occur with any amount of the substance to which the body has idiosyncrasy.

An allergic reaction to mastodinon most often in the form of itchy rashes. Sometimes it can be hives with the transition to angioedema.

Yet mastodinon is sufficiently safe and effective medication at the same time.

Galina Romanenko

Galactorrhea - a disorder that is characterized like milk discharge from the nipples, not associated with breastfeeding. Galactorrhea in itself is not a disease; a sign of underlying disease. Although most often seen in women, galactorrhea can begin in men and, sometimes, even in infants.

Symptoms

Galactorrhea symptoms are:

• Continuous or intermittent discharge from the nipples, like milk, with no traces of blood;
• Secretions may appear as themselves, and as a result of pressure on the nipple;
• Struck by one or both breasts;
• The absence of menstruation or irregular periods;
• Headaches and / or blurred vision.

Consult your doctor if you have one or both nipples secrete milk, and you are not pregnant or nursing. It is unlikely that this is a sign of cancer, but in any case should consult a doctor.

Other discharge from the nipples, especially blood or yellowish, are more troubling signs - they often indicate breast cancer.

Causes

Galactorrhea is often the result of excessive production of prolactin - the hormone responsible for milk production (lactation) after delivery. Prolactin generates the pituitary gland located in the brain. The pituitary gland produces and regulates the activity of several other hormones than prolactin.

Possible causes of galactorrhea:

• Medications, such as some tranquilizers, antidepressants, and drugs used to treat high blood pressure;
• Some natural remedies, such as fennel, anise or fenugreek;
• Birth control pills;
• Noncancerous pituitary tumor (prolactinoma), or other disorders associated with the pituitary gland;
• Reduced activity of the thyroid gland The thyroid gland - is responsible for your hormones   (hypothyroidism);
• Chronic kidney disease;
• Over-stimulation of the breast, which may be associated with sexual activity, skin rash, prolonged friction of clothing, and other factors;
• Damage to the nerves of the chest wall as a result of surgery, a burn or other trauma;
• Surgery, trauma or tumor affecting the spinal cord.

Idiopathic galactorrhea

Sometimes the cause of galactorrhea can not be established in this case speak of idiopathic galaktoree. This may mean that your breast tissue is particularly sensitive to the hormone prolactin. Thus, even normal prolactin levels can lead to galactorrhea.

Galactorrhea in men

Development galaktorei in men may be associated with testosterone deficiency Five myths about testosterone   and is usually accompanied by an increase, and breast tenderness. Low testosterone levels can also cause decreased libido and erectile dysfunction.

Galactorrhea newborns

Galactorrhea in newborns is usually caused by estrogen Estrogen - the key to bone health   mothers who during pregnancy in large quantities into the blood of the child.

How is the disease and what steps are being taken

To diagnose apply techniques such as normal physical examination, analysis of discharge, a blood test to check the level of prolactin in the body. If it is raised, make another analysis - on thyroid hormones Thyroid hormones: mechanism of action and physiological effects .

If symptoms galaktorei appeared in sexually active women who do a pregnancy test.

If cancer is suspected, carry out a mammogram, ultrasound, or a survey with the help of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

A method for treating galactorrhea depends on its cause. If it is caused by medications, your doctor may change the dose or stop the drug. When the cause of hypothyroidism are galactorrhea or prolaktoma, drugs used to treat these diseases.

When idiopathic galaktoree usually prescribe medications that reduce the production of prolactin, such as bromocriptine (Parlodel) or cabergoline (Dostinex). After treatment, discharge from the nipples are significantly reduced or completely stopped.

If symptoms persist galactorrhea, despite treatment, or if the patient, for whatever reason, can not accept certain medicines could be administered surgery. During such operation of both breasts may be removed by ducts.

In many cases, however, galactorea runs itself. In order not to encourage the emergence of new selections, avoid touching the nipples, and wear clothes and underwear, which minimize the friction of the fabric of the chest.
