Introduction. The issues of dispensary check-ups for women with benign breast diseases (BBD) still remain an urgent challenge. What stands out are delayed visits to the doctor, irregular examinations and failure to follow prescribed therapy. Women’s health schools equipped with state-of-the -art information and communication technologies contribute to improving motivation for regular check-ups, timely examinations and adherence to treatment.Aim. To study the impact of training on adherence to regular visits, examination and treatment provided to a dispensary group of women with BBD at the Prevention School.Materials and methods. A total of 486 women with BBD who attended the Women’s Health Prevention School were observed. A professional medical advice included a gynaecological screening and consultation with an oncologist, breast ultrasound imaging for women of all age groups and mammography for women aged 40 years and older; once diffuse benign changes to breast tissues were detected, the women were prescribed Mastodynon (Bionorica SE) for 3 months.Results. After training, the rates of visits to a doctor increased from 69.3% to 94.2%, the examination rates increased from 66.8% to 88.6%, adherence to regular therapy increased from 43.6% to 82.9%. 82.9% of women reported health improvements after therapy with the herbal medicine, 7.6% – absence of changes, 4.3% – deterioration in the condition, of which 2.6% – menstrual disorders, 5.2% women discontinued therapy (due to poor tolerance – 3.6%, skin reactions – 1.0%, family reasons – 0.6%).Conclusion. Raising women’s awareness about breast cancer and a set of measures increase the early detection of breast diseases and women’s cancer alertness.
