Hi
A healthy concern for surgery isn't a bad thing, it actually helps in preventing you from taking surgery too lightly, but an unhealthy fear of surgery could keep you from taking control of your health. If your fear of surgery is holding back you from having a surgery which you genuinely need, remind yourself you're not alone. Surgical anxiousness is common, but it is always very treatable.

Working with your doctor and other members of your healthcare team, you will be able to fight your fear of surgery. Your fear of surgery does not have to cease you!
Goodluck
