Abstract

There is no published study on the emotional changes following circumcision in adult men. Thus, we aimed to assess the changes in body cathexis appraisal after circumcision for religious reasons in a group of adult men. Fourty adult males (mean age 21.4 years) who were circumcised for religious reasons were enrolled in this prospective study. Each patient was asked to fill out a questionnaire of body cathexis appraisal (QBC) consisting of 40 items. A group age-, BMI-, and socioeconomically-matched 40 men who were circumcised in childhood were used as controls. Precircumcision and post-circumcision mean QBC scores in the patient group were 150.4 and 164.8, respectively. The control group had a mean QBC score of 161.2. The increase in mean QBC score in the patient group was statistically significant (p<0.001). Similarly, pre-circumcision mean QBC score in the patient group was statistically lower than that of the controls (p=0.017); whereas no significant change was found between post-circumcision mean QBC score and that of the controls (p=0.424). Our findings indicate that adult men who were not circumcised in childhood have diminished body cathexis appraisal than those who were circumcised, and circumcision leads to improvement in body cathexis appraisal.

Özet

Literatürde erişkin erkeklerde sünnet sonrası görülen ruhsal değişiklikler ile ilgili yayın bulunmamaktadır. Çalışmamızda, erişkinlerde dini nedenli yapılan sünnet sonrası kişisel beden saygısındaki değişiklikler değerlendirildi. Dini nedenlerle sünnet edilen ve yaş ortalaması 21.4 yıl olan 40 erişkin erkek prospektif olarak çalışmaya alındı. Her hastaya sünnet öncesi ve sonrasında 40 soruluk kişisel beden saygı ölçeği (BSÖ) formu dolduruldu. Kontrol grubu olarak, çocukluk çağında sünnet edilmiş, çalışma grubu ile benzer yaş, vücut kitle indeksi ve sosyoekonomik özelliklere sahip 40 erkek çalışmaya dahil edildi. Hasta grubunun sünnet öncesi ve sonrasındaki BSÖ skorları, kontrol grubunun BSÖ skorları ile karşılaştırıldı. BSÖ skoru, hasta grubunda sünnet öncesi ortalama 150.4, sünnet sonrası ise ortalama 164.8 olarak bulundu. Kontrol grubunda ise BSÖ skoru ortalama 161.2 idi. Hasta grubunda, sünnet sonrası toplam BSÖ skorunun, sünnet öncesine göre anlamlı olarak yükseldiği saptandı (p<0.001). Sünnet öncesi toplam BSÖ skoru, kontrol grubundan anlamlı olarak daha düşük bulunurken (p=0.017), sünnet sonrası ile kontrol grubu arasındaki farklılığın anlamlı olmadığı tespit edildi (p=0.424). Çalışma grubumuzda, çocukluk çağında sünnet edilmemiş erişkin erkeklerin, sünnetlilere göre benlik saygılarının daha az olduğu ve sünnet sonrası bu farklılığın ortadan kalktığı görülmüştür. Sosyal ve dini nedenlerle erişkin yaşta yapılan sünnet, kişinin özgüvenini kazanmasını sağlayarak ruhsal iyileşmeye de katkıda bulunmaktadır.
