The intervention began from 15 d prior to the menstrual period. After 3 successive treatment courses, the clinical efficacies were compared, and the efficacies in treating three different patterns of mammary glands hyperplasia were also compared, i.e. qi-stagnation due to liver depression, accumulation of phlegm and stagnation, and imbalance of the Thoroughfare and Conception Vessels.ResultAccording to the comprehensive efficacy evaluation, the total effective rate was 86.7% in the treatment group versus 57.1% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).
