Abstract:
Koro is a culture-bound syndrome prevalent in South-East Asian cultures. It is characterised by acute anxiety due to the fear of genital retraction which is believed to lead to death. While predominantly observed in men, cases involving women at an early age have been reported during Koro outbreaks. This paper describes a sporadic case of Koro-like syndrome in a South Asian woman in her 70s focusing on the psychological underpinnings contributing to its development and the importance of adopting a comprehensive management plan that addresses both psychiatric symptoms and co-occurring somatic issues.
