I have found an article that I would really like to read, but it is from a
Russian journal and it appears that only the abstract was translated, not
the article itself. Is there anyone on lactnet who might be interested in or
willing to translate the article if I were to obtain it?

[Breast diseases in patients with hyperandrogenism]

Volobuev AI, Burdina LM, Orlova VG, Raisova AT, Ataniiazova OA.

Akush Ginekol (Mosk). 1990 Apr;(4):50-3. [Article in Russian]

The study has been undertaken in 40 women with excessive androgen levels in
the age range of 22 to 38 years. Various types of mastopathy were found in
34 and fatty degeneration of the glandular tissue in 6 women. On the basis
of clinical and laboratory studies, the patients were assigned to 3 groups:
ovarian hyperandrogenism, adrenal and ovarian-adrenal hyperandrogenism.
Breast hyperplasia was seen in all groups, but adenofibrosis occurred in
groups I and III at a 2-2.5-fold higher rate as compared with group II.

The patients with hyperandrogenism, anovulation, increased body mass index,
low hirsute number and polycystic ovaries were at the highest risk of
dyshormonal mammary hyperplasia. An adequate therapeutic approach was
suggested for mastopathies in hyperandrogenic patients.
