Description Mastalgia is a common breast disorder with highly variable prevalence estimates ranging
newlinefrom 41% to 79%. It is important to study its high prevalence and its potential to become
newlinebenign to malignant.
newlineThe prevalence in young women is unknown, but it is more than 50% of women of
newlinereproductive age. Therefore, identifying and treating young women with mastalgia is of
newlineprime importance. To the best of our knowledge, there are no published studies on the
newlineprevalence of mastalgia with or without fibrocystic disease in young Indian women.. Hence
newlinethe present study was undertaken to estimate the prevalence of mastalgia among young
newlineIndian women.
newlineUsage of drugs has shown to have several side effects. Yoga being one of the mind, body
newlineinterventions have shown beneficial effects in reducing pain, stress and depression, thereby
newlineimproving quality of life in many other conditions but there are no studies on yoga in Indian
newlineadults with mastalgia.
newlineObjectives: (1) to look at the prevalence of mastalgia among nursing students,(2) to assess
newlinethe benefits of integrated yoga in nursing students with mastalgia through an RCT.
newlineMethods: The prevalence study was carried out on 748 young females between 18 to 29
newlineyears of age in residential nursing colleges of Bengaluru rural and Ramanagaram district,
newlineSouth India, by administering a specific breast history checklist prepared for the purpose.
newlineFor the interventional study, 80 young female nursing students from 2 residential nursing
newlinecolleges of Bengaluru rural and Ramanagaram district, South India, who satisfied the
newlineselection criteria and consented to participate in the study were randomized into yoga or
newlinecontrol groups( 40 each).yoga group practiced specific integrated yoga one hour in daily
newlineclasses supervised by a post graduate yoga therapist, and the control( 6 days/week) in their
