ABSTRACT

A mamografia é o método mais importante na detecção precoce do câncer de mama. Não obstante, o desconforto e a dor são queixas freqüentes durante o exame. OBJETIVO: Avaliar a freqüência de desconforto e de dor durante a mamografia e identificar fatores relacionados com essas queixas. MÉTODOS: Estudo prospectivo incluindo 2.164 pacientes, sendo que 996 previdenciárias e 1.168 da rede privada. Após o exame, a paciente quantificava a dor sentida, de acordo com uma escala linear analógica. O desconforto foi avaliado qualitativamente por análise multivariada. RESULTADOS: O desconforto foi a queixa de 90 por cento das pacientes; dessas 12 por cento referiram desconforto intenso ou intolerável. Apenas 2 por cento do grupo estudado não apresentaram dor durante o exame. Os fatores associados à dor foram: idade da paciente, o uso de anticoncepcional (ACO), mastalgia prévia e pacientes privadas. O desconforto esteve independentemente associado ao centro de realização do exame (OR = 2,50; IC 1,64-5,17) e à mastalgia prévia (OR = 3,15; IC 1,96-7,12). A aceitabilidade de uma futura mamografia foi de 98 por cento. CONCLUSÃO: Mulheres jovens (< 50 anos), usuárias de ACO, portadoras de mastalgia e provenientes de serviços privados apresentaram maior intensidade de dor e desconforto durante a realização da mamografia.


INTRODUCTION: Mammography is the most important method for early detection of breast cancer, however, patients frequently complain of discomfort and pain. OBJECTIVE: Evaluate how often discomfort and pain are felt during mammography and identify factors that may be associated to these complaints. METHODS: A prospective study including 2,164 patients recruited from public (996) and private (1,168) health services was carried out. After the imaging procedure, patients quantified pain using a linear analogical scale. Discomfort was qualitatively evaluated by multivariate analysis. RESULTS: Discomfort was reported by 90 percent of the patients, and of these 12 percent rated the sensation as intense or intolerable. Only 2 percent of the women in the study group did not feel any pain during the procedure. Factors associated to pain were: age, use of birth control methods (BCM), previous mastalgia and patients from the private health sector. Discomfort was independently associated to the service where the procedure was performed (OR = 2.50 IC 1.64-5.17) and to previous mastalgia (OR = 3.15 IC 1.96-7.12). When asked about a repeat mammography, 98 percent of the patients said they would comply. CONCLUSION: Young women (< 50 years), BCM users, mastalgia patients and women who were using the services of a private clinic felt more intense pain and discomfort during mammography.
