Cultural context and impact of alcohol use in the Sundarban Delta, West Bengal, India
Puppy Pregnancy in Humans
Background: Delusion of pregnancy in males, though uncommon, has been reported in the literature. Delusion of animal pregnancy in humans is unreported until now, and we are reporting here cases of puppy pregnancy in human beings from a part of rural West Bengal, India. Material: Studies of six male cases and one female case of delusion of puppy pregnancy after an alleged touch or bite of a dog are presented. Discussion: Detailed phenomenological …
Community mental health and concepts of mental illness in the Sundarban Delta of West Bengal, India
The Sundarban Delta of West Bengal is a remote, rural region with poor infrastructure and until recently without designated mental health services or a community mental health programme. To inform development of such a programme for the region, and to complement epidemiological study of rates of suicide, nonfatal deliberate self-harm, and specific psychiatric disorders, cultural epidemiological research was undertaken. This research aimed to clar…
Hundred Years of Koro the History of a Culture-Bound Syndrome
Koro was first reported in Western medical press in 1895. The original oriental culture-bound 'Koro' is now referred to as 'genital retraction syndrome' in the global literature. During this span of a century, the primary cultural etiological focus of Koro has also shifted towards the concept of disordered body-image perception. A review of the world Koro literature (English language journals and books) of varied ethnic groups, geographical regio…
Koro and Offending Behaviour
The definition and classification of Koro
Koro in Females
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 …
Koro in Heroin Withdrawal
An Atypical Hysteria Epidemic in Tripura, India
This paper reports an atypical hysteria epidemic in a tribal village of the State of Tripura, India. Twelve persons, eight female and four male, were affected in a chain reaction within a span of ten days. The cardinal feature was an episodic trance state of 5 to 15 minutes duration with restlessness, attempts at self-injury, running away, inappropriate behaviour, inability to identify family members, refusal of food and intermittent mimicking of…
Biomedical Potential for Symptom Choice in Koro
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%)
