The Causes of a Hidden or Buried Penis

Posted November 22, 2016 in Services for Men

A hidden or buried penis occurs when the folds of the skin around the penis cover or conceal it, causing men to lose penile length. There are multiple causes for the condition, with each requiring a specific treatment process.

The most common cause of a hidden penis is obesity. The excess fat that builds up in the pubic area and lower abdomen engulfs the penis as it descends. Chronic inflammation can contribute to a hidden penis. An extreme circumcision may result in loss of penile length. A buried penis can even be caused by certain congenital disorders.
