RESUMO
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.
ABSTRACT

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.
