How To Prevent Breast Cancer?

The last two times I had surgery (both this year, both related to breast cancer) I woke up with "hysteria". That's what my hospital records say. I've never experienced this before. I'm having another surgery next week and I'm afraid this will happen again. Is there anything I can do to prevent it?

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Hysteria is a state of the mind when the person has irritability, restlessness, disorientation, shouting irrelevant words. This sort of behavior is seen rarely in some patients after surgery and those coming out of anesthesia.

Medical literature says that it is usually observed that the patient is anxious prior to the procedure and no history of hysterical behavior in the past. Anxiety and pain would have caused this behavior. It can be due to sudden increase in pain sensation. Proper counselling and patient education helps reduce hysteria after surgery. Please do not worry.
