Abstract
Breast pain, also known as mastalgia, is one of the most common clinical issues women bring to the surgical outpatient department. The epidemiological, pathological, and radiological aspects are used to obtain a complete view of mastalgia. Most patients expressed concern about cancer rather than debilitating pain that would interfere with their everyday activities. The therapy of patients with mastalgia requires high-quality radiographic and pathology services. Reassurance and appropriate medical and surgical treatment for the source of breast pain can help to reduce morbidity and improve the disease's outcome. In this chapter, the investigation of several current therapies and yoga therapy are discussed for cyclical mastalgia (CM). The research also looked into the impact of current therapies on psychological outcomes. The results indicated that the biochemical clinical trial is effective with side effects, and the primrose oil and seed treatment is ineffective. To handle mastalgia sufferers, integrated yoga therapy provides a high-quality trial.
