Determinantes da dor e desconforto durante a mamografia

Abstract

A Mamografia é o principal meio complementar de diagnóstico precoce do cancro da mama. No entanto, o desconforto ea dor são queixas verificadas frequentemente durante o exame. Objectivo: Conhecer o desconforto e dor ocasionados pela realização da mamografia e identi ficar os determinantes que possam estar relacionados com estes sintomas. Métodos: Estudo descritivo e transversal incluindo 100 utentes realizado em ambiente público e privado da area da grande Lisboa. Antes e apos a realização do exame as pacientes responderam respectivamente a dois questionanios, que permitiram quantificar a dor e desconforto durante a mamografia, e encontrar os possiveis determinantes relacionados com estes smtomas. Resultados: As variáveis que mais influenciam a dor e o desconforto sentidos durante a realização do exame são a ansiedade sentida antes do exame, a existéncia de mastalgia prévia, as expectativas em relação ao desconforto à exposição das mamas, ex pectativas em relação ao desconforto ao toque nas mamas por parte do TR, expectativas quanto à dor. Conclusao: De um modo geral, os dados analisados concordam com a revisão da literatura, com a excepção dos resultados que dizem respeito a utilização de contraceptivos orais.
