Buried penis
!! WARNING !!
It is very important to recognize any genital anomaly before circumcising a boy. For the successful solution of buried penis, hypospadias or epispadias, the preserved foreskin of the penis is crucial, in order to achieve a natural functional and aesthetic result of reconstructive surgery.
A buried penis is an anomaly that occurs in newborn boys but can also be acquired in adult men.
Excess skin and fatty tissue in the lower abdominal area hides the penis.

The surgeon removes excess fat and skin in the pubic area, then positions the penile skin in its proper place, providing immediate results of penile enlargement.

The surgery is performed under general anesthesia.
For children, the surgery lasts up to 90 minutes.
For adults, the surgery lasts about 2 hours.
The child stays with their mother in a hospital suite for one day.
Adult men stay in the hospital for two days.
After leaving the hospital, follow-up checks are scheduled every two days for next two weeks.
Postoperative abstinence for adult patients is 4 to 6 weeks.

We always emphasize how important it is to make the right choice of surgeon to entrust your body or your child's body. If you have any doubts, don't go for surgery - fixing an ingrown penis is not an emergency. Be well informed before making a final decision.
The recommendation for young men with a small penis is not to despair, but to contact a genital surgeon - andrologist - urologist. It is quite possible that they suffer from a condition known as hidden penis, buried penis or retracted penis, a problem that can be solved with surgery.
