Dhat is expulsion of whitish solid material with
urine or excretion of watery mucoid fluid spontaneously when one gets
sexual excitement. It results in undergarments getting moistened.
It is misinterpreted as semen loss. It is found both in males and
females, especially before marriage or when one abstains from sexual
activity for a long duration. It decreases with age. The person feels quite anxious, depressed, devoid of energy and loss of sexual potency.
Because of the belief that semen is the source of strength and
manhood that has been lost, the man starts believing that he is not
capable of satisfying a female.
This result in disastrous consequences because the boy starts
avoiding marriage proposals creating problems for the family. This
belief is reinforced by the information available in print media in the
form of advertisements by quacks who put forward the theory that 100
drops of blood form one drop of semen.
This is the most common problem in the youth today.
