Brief Summary:
Most of the women complain about the pain and discomfort during the mammography procedure It is reported in the literature that most of the time these pain and discomfort are due to anxiety-related causes During counseling before mammography scan it was also observed that most of the women had a general belief that mammography is a very painful procedure and they have a negative perception about mammography Thus the Majority of pain seems due to anxiety-related issues Studies also support this evidence and it is reported in the literature that most of the women avoid mammography scans due to this negative perception which causes delay and ultimately a late diagnosis
To validate the exact nature of pain and discomfort during mammography and to find out the strategy to cope with this anxiety-related pain and discomfort there is a dire need for a study that can address this problem Additionally in our setup most of the women who came for mammography are illiterate and belonged to the low socio-economic status In these women due to the negative perception refusal or withdrawal rate is higher for mammography scans
A thorough literature search has revealed studies on this issue are scarce both nationally and internationally In the current study Paracetamol will be used as a possible intervention which is the safest premedication for reducing pain while achieving standard compression which is necessary for good image quality Thus this study can help develop a strategy to control mammography discontinuation due to pain and discomfort

Detailed Description:
Mammography is considered a fundamental part of diagnosis in modern health care services It provides low dose soft tissue imaging of normal structure and pathology within the breast A mammogram can be performed on both asymptomatic and symptomatic women with palpable lumps and any other complaints It is an appropriate source of early detection for breast cancer in diagnostic imaging This screening practice is associated with a strong reduction in mortality in breast cancer as many guidelines have already published Thus Mammography has been demonstrated as a Gold Standard technique used for Breast cancer Imaging
Besides a strong reliance on Mammographic examination that most of the females may experience breast pain and discomfort while achieving standard compression in mammography which is necessary for optimal image quality a number of trials have been published Moreover previously reported that anxiety-related psychological pain false perception or fear of discomfort is a factual reason for pain and discomfort while performing mammography Breast pain is also associated with the menstrual cycle and noncyclic trauma surgery and infection Although pain discomfort anxiety and false beliefs is a major reason to discontinue this procedure and over the past decades taking part in mammography is quite challenging for many women
Premeditated mammography with the aid of analgesics is one of the most suitable interventions for diminishing pain In this current study paracetamol is used as an intervention for diminishing pain during mammography Previously a study declared that paracetamol can reduce mild pain and most people can take this medicine safely We planned this study to evaluate the effective strategy to cope with the pain and discomfort among women undergoing mammography
