Buried penis
Buried Penis
Buried penis (pronunciation: /ˈberid ˈpenis/), also known as hidden penis or concealed penis, is a medical condition where the penis is obscured within the prepubic fat or skin.
Etymology
The term "buried penis" is derived from the English words "buried", meaning hidden or covered, and "penis", referring to the male genital organ.
Definition
A buried penis is a condition that can occur in both children and adults. It is characterized by a penis that is normal in size but is hidden under the skin of the abdomen, thigh, or scrotum. This condition is not the same as having a small penis (also known as micropenis).
Causes
The causes of a buried penis can be congenital or acquired. Congenital causes are usually due to abnormal development of the penis during gestation. Acquired causes can include obesity, aging, or as a result of circumcision or other penile surgery.
Symptoms
Symptoms of a buried penis can include difficulty with urination, sexual dysfunction, and psychological distress.
Treatment
Treatment for a buried penis depends on the underlying cause. In cases where obesity is the cause, weight loss may be recommended. In other cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to correct the condition.
