Definición

  • Dhat syndrome, a term first introduced by N. Wig in 1960, is a culture-bound syndrome of India and its surrounding areas in which men believe they are physically or mentally ill because of the excessive loss of semen. This syndrome is most common among young men and is attributed to excessive masturbation, nocturnal emissions, or premarital or extramarital sexual activity.
