A weird disease


Unbelievable as it may seem, some men think that their genitals are shrinking. This is called the Koro Syndrom or the shrinking penis syndrome. It is a genital retraction syndrome wherein there is a pathological fear that the genitals are shrinking into the body. It is the fear of a man that his penis is being sucked into his body which sometimes result to death.

There are no cases that are documented to show that there is an actual deduction in a man’s penis. Some are suffering because they are frantically trying to stretch their genitals. It is somewhat related or similar to a panic attack only that it is with sexual elaborations. This disease is mostly in Asia and Africa. Rehabs and treatment will help solve this psychological problem.
