Generally, the fear arising from this examination cause pain, discomfort, side effects or fear of the outcome of the acquisition.
Here goes the dreaded four medical examination by a female
Mammography
This examination using X-ray beam and capable of detecting 80-90 percent of cases of breast cancer. A study in Sweden found that regular mammography can reduce mortality in women over 40 years by 29 percent. Generally, the pain of mammography will appear mainly in people who have small breasts, dense or sensitive. The time required for mammography in total only 40 seconds.
Mammography is the standard examination for women who have risk factors for breast cancer. Other alternative tests can use ultrasound, BSE (breast self-check) or by sound waves to detect abnormalities. However, sometimes used together with mammography, especially if there is any abnormality is found.
Colonoscopy
This procedure is the most effective way to find out polyps and other precancerous growth in the gut, this test lasts about 30 minutes to 1 hour. Generally fears that arise because someone thought of a long flexible tube and tiny camera will enter into the intestine, and sometimes arise abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting afterwards.
If someone is afraid to do colonoccopy, maybe he could do a small amount of stool examination are sent to a laboratory for analysis. This test will see changes in DNA associated with precancerous polyps and cancer. If DNA tests show a change, someone would be well advised to do colocoscopy.
Endoscopy
This check is to see the condition of the esophagus, stomach and small intestine. Endoscopy is used to investigate the causes of specific symptoms such as chronic reflux, difficulty swallowing and upper abdominal pain. This procedure will take about 5-7 minutes, but if a polyp is found it will take longer.
The fear arises because many people are worried experience nausea and vomiting due to fast beforehand for 6-8 hours before the test. Also someone might have a slightly sore throat afterwards. Therefore, this test should be done morning and eating soft foods and avoid spicy food afterwards and hard.
MRI examination
MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) uses a powerful magnetic fields and radio waves to create cross-sectional images of the body by showing organs, soft tissues, bones, ligaments torn down to the tumor or cancer. Someone will be laid to rest and get into a closed tube with your head first. This procedure takes about 10 minutes to 1 hour.
MRI will not cause physical pain, but lying alone in a narrow closed tube can make a person feel stressed and shortness of breath. We recommend that you close your eyes and imagine something beautiful or fun so that it can make it more relaxed. But if there is a mental disorder ask your doctor to prescribe anti-anxiety medication prior to MRI.
Some of the existing hospital which has an open MRI that makes a person can stand, sit or even watch television while being scanned. But this open MRI uses magnetic fields are generally low so that the picture quality is not as good as a closed MRI. Open MRI may be enough to see a scan of the knee or the brain due to chronic headaches, but for other tests such as detection of tumor or cancer is not recommended.
