How to fight the fear of needles or syringes?
Apr 25, 2014

Dr. Rania Mousa General Medicine
Twenty percent of people have a fear of needles.The fear of needles is both a learned and an inherited condition. A fairly small number inherit a fear of needles, but most people acquire needle phobia around ages four to six.
If you suffer from a fear of needles, it's important to talk to your doctor. Your doctor can suggest therapy options, modify treatments, decrease the number of shots you're scheduled to get, and even offer some pain-free alternatives to injections.
