Primary and secondary Koro: causes and damage

In short, Koro is afraid of breaking the cultural mission [the bigger the penis, the bigger the man], and is increasingly susceptible to social pressure. The details are as follows:

I. Small subject : This is caused by the relative size of the genitals or compared to other genitals. Or by anything [such as illness or weakness, exposure to cold, etc.] causes the penile muscles to temporarily tighten and contract the organs slightly. This makes the victim extremely worried about losing manhood and even life.

As a solution to this problem, mechanical anchors are widely used to stop further from

Shrink The genitals and these anchors can be strings or wires. However, the extreme state of anxiety – characterized by sweating, fainting and palpitations – requires the most fear, and the attack can be isolated or chronic, between 20 and 60 minutes each time.

Therefore, you should feel that your penis is shrinking, and through a rigorous psychoanalysis, medical transaction equipment may be helpful. They are not cheap, treatment takes time, so patience is definitely your best ally. But first, treatment with antidepressants is important to improve the mood of the patient. Without this kind of emotion, no further psychotherapy can be performed.
