Hello Doctor,
Is it possible I have a buried penis? I am 33 years old.
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
It’s possible you have an acquired buried penis, often linked to obesity. This condition occurs when the penis is partially or completely hidden below the skin, typically due to excess fat in the suprapubic area. The main cause in adults is morbid obesity (BMI > 40 kg/m²), which leads to the overhanging fat pad. If you're overweight, it's important to consider weight loss as the first treatment. Surgical options are available, but a physical exam by a urologist is necessary for a definitive diagnosis. Early intervention can help prevent complications.
Thanks
