Details
Koro spread throughout asia by Thai Lam, is a culture- specific syndrome recognized in the fourth edition of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. The term for the condition, also known as shuk yang, shook yong, and suo yang (Assam); or rok-joo, is to describe an individual overcome with the belief that his/her external genital or, in female, nipple are retracting or shrinking, with fear of that the organ will disappear. Though the syndrome is rooted in China and found mostly in Southeast Asia, rare and isolated cases of koro are found in people of non-Chinese ethnicity worldwide. Episodes of epidemics occurred in the endemic nations. In a different cultural setting, mass hysteria of genital-shrinkage have been reported in African nations.
