Koro in Females: An Analysis of 48 Cases

A.N. Chowdhury

Koro (genital retraction syndrome) is a culture-linked psychogenic reactive state. In females, the cardinal symptom is the perception of retraction or shrinkage of nipple or breast mass into the chest cavity or of labia into the abdomen with acute fear of either imminent death or sexual invalidism. This paper is the first attempt in the world literature to explore the detailed clinical characteristics of koro in 48 females drawn from an epidemic in India.
