Effect of Gonglaomu external lotion in treatment of patients with non-lactating mastitis in later stage of ulceration

Objective To investigate the effects of Gonglaomu external lotion on wound healing, sinus depth and pituitary prolactin (PRL) in patients with non-lactating mastitis (NMP) in the late stage of ulceration.

Methods A total of 140 patients with NMP in the late stage of ulceration were selected and divided into observation group (n=70) and control group (n=70). Image J software was used to calculate the wound area before and after treatment, and the amount of exudation was recorded; the sinus depth was measured with silver probe before and after treatment; the level of PRL was detected by chemiluminescence before and after treatment; the efficacy, wound area, exudate volume, sinus depth and PRL level were compared between the two groups.

Results The total effective rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group; after treatment, the wound area and exudation volume of the observation group were lower than those of the control group; after treatment, the sinus depth in the observation group was lower than that in the control group; the PRL in both groups decreased after treatment, and the PRL of the observation group was lower than that of the control group; the recurrence rate in the observation group was lower than that in the control group; all the between-group differences mentioned above were statistically significant (P < 0.05).

Conclusion Gonglaomu external lotion can effectively improve condition of wound healing, sinus depth and PRL level in patients with NMP in the late stage of ulceration.
