All statistical analysis was done using Microsoft excel. Results:Maximum numbers of cases (71.8%) were of age group of 21 to 30 years. The mean age of cases of ormeloxifene group was 26.96±5.257 years, mean age of danazol group was 26.81±5.497 years and mean age of evening primrose oil group was 27±5.345 years.In all the three groups, one half of patients had grade–4, grade–5 of east nodularity, in ormeloxifene group 50%, in danazol group 50% and in evening primrose oil group 46.14% cases had grade–4 and grade–5 nodularity.
