Abstract

The study investigates the efficacy of OrmeloXifene, a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), in managing fibro-adenosis/adenomas and alleviating associated mastalgia. Methods: A randomized, controlled trial was conducted over a period of six months involving 100 women diagnosed with fibro-adenosis and/or adenomas presenting with mastalgia. Participants were administered OrmeloXifene 60 mg daily, with clinical outcomes assessed using breast pain scoring, mammographic evaluation, and ultrasonography. Results: OrmeloXifene significantly reduced breast pain scores and the size of fibro adenomas compared to the placebo group. No significant adverse effects were observed. Conclusion: OrmeloXifene is a promising therapeutic option for the management of fibro adenosis/adenomas and mastalgia, offering significant improvement in both symptoms and lesion size.
