Injection phobia (also called trypanophobia) is a strong fear of needles, injections, or medical procedures involving needles. It can cause anxiety, fainting, or avoidance of important medical care. Treatment usually combines psychological approaches with practical coping techniques. Here are the main evidence-based treatments:
Next Steps
1. Psychological & Behavioral Treatments
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Helps challenge catastrophic thoughts (e.g., “I’ll die if I get a shot”) and replace them with realistic beliefs.
Exposure Therapy (Graduated Exposure)
Stepwise exposure to needle-related situations (looking at pictures, holding a syringe without a needle, watching someone else get an injection, then practicing in a safe setting).
Reduces avoidance and anxiety over time.
Applied Tension Technique
Especially useful for those who faint during injections.
Involves tensing large muscle groups (arms, legs, core) for ~10–15 seconds, then relaxing.
Prevents the drop in blood pressure and fainting response.
Relaxation & Mindfulness
Deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, grounding techniques, or guided imagery before and during injections.

You have a phobia of injections and cannula insertion, which is understandable. Dolocain (local anaesthetic cream) can be used before cannula insertion, but it is important to confirm this with your surgeon or anaesthetist, as each hospital follows its own protocols.
Next Steps
You should be clearly inform your doctor or nurse about your fear and anxiety on the day of surgery so that they can either apply Dolocain cream for you or use other methods to reduce your discomfort.
Health Tips
Practice relaxation breathing and guided imagery before surgery. Listening to calming music can also help. If your anxiety is very high, your doctor may prescribe a mild anti-anxiety medicine before the procedure.

I understand your concern. Since you are undergoing gallbladder surgery, please consult your surgeon or anesthetist before applying any cream like Dolocine, as they will guide you best. From a psychological perspective, the needle prick usually lasts just a second. Taking slow deep breaths, distracting yourself, and reminding yourself it will be over very quickly can help reduce your phobia. Relaxation and calming your mind can make the experience much easier.
