Article Synopsis
- - Venereophobia, the fear of contracting sexually transmitted diseases, was studied in a group of 72 patients, primarily young males (mean age 25.85), to understand its epidemiological traits and psychiatric aspects
- - The study found that most patients presented symptoms like genital papules and itchiness after engaging in unprotected sex, often linked to their lack of knowledge about STIs and infrequent condom use
- - A significant portion of the participants (59.7%) were diagnosed with psychiatric conditions, primarily anxiety neurosis, highlighting the need for thorough assessments to prevent misdiagnosis and complications in venereophobia cases
