Genital Dysmorphia- A Valid Diagnostic Construct? and Psychopharmacological Options at Hand

Abstract

Genital dysmorphia, with male preponderance, is commonly used to refer to penile dysmorphia. This dysmorphia, centred on penile size, can be contextualized as a specifier of body dysmorphic disorder with varied levels of insight. It follows that cosmetic surgery for men with genital dysmorphia without prior assessment and specific treatment is unlikely to be helpful.

Keywords: BAPS; body dysmorphophobia; genital dysmorphia.
