What is a buried penis in children?

Condition in which the penis appears buried due to excessive fatty tissue that has formed over the pubic area or due to underdeveloped subcutaneous tissue

Causes of occurrence?

  • Loosening of the ligaments in the penis

  • Scrotal skin adhering to the tip of the penis

  • The presence of a large fatty “cushion” in the pubic area that completely surrounds the penis

  • Obesity, which leads to the accumulation of fat in the pubic area

  • Inflammation, which causes lymphatic fluid to collect in the scrotum, burying the penis in the tissue.

Complications?

  • Exposure to severe infection.

  • Injury to the penis

How to treat ?

  • The doctor examines the length of the child’s penis from the pelvic bone to the top of the penis head

  • The male organ is examined for the presence of skin adhesions.

  • Prescribe medications when needed

  • Surgical intervention if needed
