Algophobia
(derived from the Greek algos meaning pain and phobos which means fear) is an
exaggerated and irrational fear of pain or pain.
A person with algophobia can
feel very pain, although for normal human size the pressure does not cause
pain. Immediately, a patient with a phobia of pain will feel dizzy, nauseated,
vomiting, trembling, heart palpitations or cold sweats, when he feels he will
be hurt (such as being pinched or beaten).

vomiting, trembling, heart palpitations or cold sweats, when he feels he will

It is believed that this
happens because the patient is too excessive in predicting the pain / danger
that will be obtained from a treatment, resulting in a shadow of pain that is
very, very accompanied by fear.
However, the cause may also
be due to environmental factors, an event in the past, and other accompanying
psychological conditions. In an algophobic person, he will experience the
psychological pain of the phobia, and this aggravates the pain and the phobia
of the pain will be even greater. This phenomenon is also called the term
cycling-phobia.
Phobia against pain can
interfere with everyday life, because even some people are afraid of pain just
from lifting an object or playing with children. Therapy that can be given to
people with algophobia may be counseling, hypnosis, or sedation.
