Body Image Disorder Affecting More Men

"Although women are generally more dissatisfied with their appearance than men in this country, a study of nearly 200 people found that men are as likely as women to seek clinical help for the image obsession known as body dysmorphic disorder (BDD).

The study shows that BDD, a debilitating disorder in which sufferers are preoccupied with imagined flaws in their appearance, afflicts the sexes to a similar degree, though men and women obsess about different parts of the body, said Dr. Katharine A. Phillips, a Brown University psychiatrist and one of the study's two authors.

"Some people assume that because BDD involves the body image it is only seen in women," said Phillips. "Don't assume."

In general, it is estimated that as many as one in 50 people have BDD. This study provided an overall picture as to the way the disorder afflicts men and women and found there are more similarities than differences.

The 93 women and 95 men in the study were patients in Phillips' practice. Predominantly unmarried and often unemployed, most of the patients started having symptoms of BDD during adolescence.

Differences between the genders centered mainly on the body part that was of concern to the patient. While men were often concerned with body build, hair loss and the size of genitals, women focused on weight and hips and the condition of their skin. These differences led to variations in the way the patients handled their perceived flaws. Men were likely to use a hat to camouflage the perceived defect whereas women were likely to use makeup. "

Men's biggest fear is a small penis. It is prouven that over 96% from men with BDD are affected by their penis size. But, the study also speaks about how many people are really doing something about their flows, different than hidding them.
