Biomedical potential for symptom choice in Koro.

A N Chowdhury1.   

Abstract

The distribution of different biomedical sexual factors in relation to Koro in 162 cases in a North Bengal Koro epidemic, has been analysed. Anatomo-sexual factors such as venereal disease and scrotal filaria were found to be significantly commoner in Koro patients. The commonest cited precipitating factor was extramarital intercourse (23.5%).
