Delusional parasitosis (DP) with Koro-like syndrome poses a complex clinical challenge, demanding a comprehensive and empathetic approach from healthcare professionals. This exceptional combination of fixed beliefs about infestation and experiences of genital retraction can profoundly impact patients' well-being and daily functioning. The associated stigma and misconceptions further compound the difficulties faced by individuals struggling with these co-occurring conditions. Given the rarity of encountering both conditions simultaneously, navigating the diagnosis and treatment of delusional parasitosis with Koro-like syndrome requires a thorough understanding of its multifaceted nature. Embracing a holistic strategy encompassing psychoeducation, psychotherapy, and pharmacological interventions is essential for effectively addressing these dual conditions.
伴有缩阳症样综合征的妄想性寄生虫病(DP)带来了复杂的临床挑战,需要医疗保健专业人员采取全面且富有同理心的方法。这种关于感染的固定信念与生殖器回缩体验的特殊组合会深刻影响患者的幸福感和日常功能。相关的耻辱感和误解进一步加剧了同时患有这些并发疾病的个体所面临的困难。鉴于同时遇到这两种疾病的情况罕见,应对伴有缩阳症样综合征的妄想性寄生虫病的诊断和治疗需要对其多方面性质有透彻的了解。采用包括心理教育、心理治疗和药物干预的整体策略对于有效应对这两种疾病至关重要。
