Male external genitalia self-mutilation in Burkina Faso: Nationwide study of 13 cases
Key Points
Self-mutilation lesions in male external genitalia vary significantly across cases, affecting treatment strategies.
Microsurgery, commonly used in developed countries, is less accessible in Burkina Faso, complicating patient care.
The analysis covers 13 unique cases, highlighting both psychological and physical aspects of self-harm.
Challenges remain in managing self-mutilation effectively due to limited healthcare resources in developing countries.
