• Sexual Taboos- In various cultures sexual activities are considered as a sin. Men may fall into the traps of such beliefs and this develops guilty feelings regarding loss of semen. This gives rise to dhat syndrome
• Anxiety And Stress- Several mental health issues like stress, depression and anxiety also make a person believe in the loss of semen as a result of psychological problems.
• Lack Of Sexual Knowledge - If a person is not equipped with proper sexual education knowledge then he can easily believe in myths and misconceptions about semen loss.
• Cultural Beliefs- As dhat syndrome is also referred to as a cultural bound syndrome, it further triggers semen loss beliefs which add to dhat syndrome.
• Somatisation- It is a process in which a person transforms emotional or psychological stress into the loop of physical symptoms. This gets manifested into physical form, leading to dhat syndrome.
