No one knows exactly what causes a fear of needles.
In fact, anyone can have a phobia for anything. People are afraid of everything from snakes to pencils. And the reason is their own, at some point in their life they just developed a phobia for the item.
This fear is somewhat grounded in their real use. Kids develop a fear of them when they get an injection and then see needles as sharp, blood spilling tools. They seem painful, foreign, and medical-like appearing and pain causing. Given the use of needles in healthcare there’s just not much opportunity to explain the benefits of needles. In contrast to all those scary topics above.
When medical providers know you have a needle fear, they can do things to limit the exposure and decrease the fear. They want to ensure that their medical tests do not overwhelm your anxiety and make your situation worse in the long term.
