The highest frequency of partial symptomatic improvement was observed in the ovarian cysts with 84.7 %, breast dysplasia with 70.8 %, CPD with 52.8 %, and uterine myomas with 49 %. As to breast dysplasias and ovarian cysts, tumors were reduced in 66.7 % of the cases, and in uterine myomas in 49 %. No improvement was observed in 12.4 % of the CPD and in 8.2 % of the uterine myomas.
