“…Czarnocka and Slade (2000) used the PTSD-Q (Watson, Juba, Manifold, Kucala, & Anderson, 1991) which is comparable in design to the PSS, and also used the Impact of Event Scale (IES) (Horowitz, Wilner, & Alvarez, 1979) to investigate intrusive and avoidance symptoms. Skari et al (2002) combined two questionnaires to assess a PTSD-like response using the IES and items of the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28) concerning hyperarousal.…”

To assess the empirical basis of prevalence and risk factors of childbirth-related posttraumatic stress symptoms and PTSD in mothers, the relevant literature was critically reviewed. A MEDLINE and PSYCHLIT search using the key words bposttraumatic stressQ, bPTSDQ, bchildbirthQ and btraumatic deliveryQ was performed. The generated list of articles was supplemented by a review of their bibliographies. A total of 31 articles was selected. The primary inclusion criterion was report of posttraumatic stress symptoms or PTSD specifically related to childbirth. Case studies and quantitative studies on regular childbirth and childbirth by emergency cesarean section were identified. Consistency among studies was found with regard to development of posttraumatic stress symptoms as a consequence of traumatic delivery. Methodological issues concerning prevalence and risk factors were discussed. Case studies and quantitative studies confirm that childbirth may be experienced as so emotionally intense that it can lead to the development of posttraumatic stress symptoms or even a PTSD-profile. Among the identified risk factors were a history of psychological problems, trait anxiety, obstetric procedures, negative aspects in staff-mother contact, feelings of loss of control over the situation, and lack of partner support. The conclusion of the current review is twofold. First, traumatic reactions to childbirth are an important public health issue. Secondly, studying childbirth offers opportunity to prospectively study the development of posttraumatic stress reactions. D

“…However, traditional circumcision carried more risk for anxiety. 21 A review by Yavuz et al hypothesized that circumcision might not affect children negatively due to: 1) the positive view attributed to circumcision in the community; 2) performing circumcision at an age when the child could appreciate circumcision and its consequences; and 3) most of the people in the community had been circumcised. 22 This is supported by the argument that advises to perform circumcision at an age when the child could make his own decisions, since the child perceives it as a threat.…”

Introduction: Our aim was to investigate the psychological and sexual effects of circumcision in adult men, and analyze these changes following circumcision. Methods: We included 37 adults who applied to our clinic for circumcision and who did not have any psychiatric or urologic disorders and age-matched 30 controls in our study. Body Cathexis Scale (BCS), Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS), and Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool (PEDT) were applied to the study group twice, once before and once three months after circumcision, and only once in the control group. Also, intravaginal ejaculation latency time (IELT) was noted and premature ejaculation (PE) evaluation was done. Intra-and intergroup comparisons were performed. Results: The two groups were similar with regard to demographic data. Comparison of preoperative BCS and LSAS scores with the scores of the control group showed significant differences (p=0.003, p<0.001, and p<0.001, respectively). However, postoperative scores were similar to the scores obtained in the control group (p=0.768, p>0.05, and p>0.05, respectively). Scores of all scales showed significant improvements postoperatively. Also, PEDT scores and IELT changes before and after circumcision were significant in the study group, but not when compared to the control group. Conclusions: Our results indicated that social anxiety and anxiety levels decreased after circumcision in adult Turkish men, and their body gratification increased. We found that not being circumcised might negatively affect individuals in adulthood when it comes to body image and sexual satisfaction, however, both improve after circumcision.

“…Los adultos que eran circuncidados como los niños (siempre sin su consentimiento) han descrito sus experiencias en el lenguaje de la violación, de la tortura, de la mutilación, y del asalto sexual (Bigelow, 1995;Hammond, 1999). En un estudio, un cuestionario clínico validado (PSTD-I) con una escala de respuesta siete puntos (Watson et al, 1991) fue administrado por Menage (1999) a ocho hombres que habían sido circuncidados cuando eran niños. Seis de los ocho hombres satisficieron los criterios de un diagnóstico de PTSD.…”

“…Unos 1577 muchachos en edades de 11 a 16 años (1072 muchachos fueron circuncidados bajo procedimientos médicos; 505 fueron sometidos a circuncisión ritual) fueron investigados para ver si el trauma percibido del corte genital condujo al desarrollo de PTSD. Usando el cuestionario de PTSD-I (Watson et al, 1991), Ramos encontró que casi 70% de los muchachos sometidos a la circuncisión ritual, y 51% de los muchachos sometidos a circuncisión médica satisficieron los criterios para un diagnóstico de PTSD. Este estudio sugiere que hay necesidad de informar a la comunidad filipina sobre el daño psicoló-gico causado por la circuncisión, tanto ritual como médica.…”

El Trastorno por Estrés Postraumático (PTSD) de Larga Duración como Resultado de Cirugía Genital en Menores

ResumenUnos 650 millones de hombres y 120 millones de mujeres que viven en la actualidad sufrieron modificaciones genitales. Los partidarios de la cirugía genital han considerado que realizar la circuncisión y el cambio de sexo sin consentimiento en niños y niñas prácticamente no tiene secuelas psicológicas negativas. Sin embargo, la creciente evidencia empírica muestra que mutilación genital causa daño en el ámbito físico, sexual y, a veces, psicológico. Por ejemplo, de 313 hombres circuncidados cuando eran niños, el 75% manifestaban daño psicológico, el 60% indicaban resentimiento, el 54% mostraban cólera, el 50% se sentían violados, el 47% se consideraban inferiores y el 43% creían que la circuncisión perjudicaba sus relaciones sexuales. Las víctimas de la circuncisión, o las sometidas a operaciones de cambio de sexo, cuando eran menores con frecuencia han descrito sus experiencias en términos de violación, tortura, mutilación y ataque sexual. Dados los efectos adversos posibles a largo plazo sobre la salud mental que causa la cirugía genital innecesaria, ha llegado el momento para que, se paren todas las formas de mutilación genital en los menores. AbstractAn estimated 650 million males and 120 million females living today have had part of their genitals amputated during infancy or childhood. Genital surgery performed on unconsenting minors (including both circumcision and sex-reassignment surgery) has been claimed by its adherents to cause few adverse psychological effects. However, mounting evidence now reveals that such genital cutting causes harm physically, sexually, and often psychologically. For example, among 313 men circumcised as infants, 75% reported psychological harm, 60% reported resentment, 54% reported anger, 50% felt violated, 47% felt inferior to intact males, and 43% believed that circumcision impeded sexual relations. Individuals circumcised as children or subjected to sex-change
