Understanding Buried Penis
At Dr. Amjad Alwaal’s Urology Clinic, we specialize in addressing a range of urological conditions, including the less commonly discussed but significant issue of buried penis. This condition can affect both children and adults, leading to various complications if not properly treated.
What is a Buried Penis?
A buried penis is a condition where the penis is hidden beneath the skin of the abdomen, thigh, or scrotum, making it less visible. This can be due to several factors, including:
• Obesity: Excess fat in the pubic
area can engulf the penis.
• Lymphedema: Swelling due to lymphatic fluid can cause the penis to become buried.
• Congenital Abnormalities: Some men are
born with this condition.
• Scar Tissue: Following surgery or injury, scar tissue might lead to this condition.
Symptoms can vary but often include difficulties with urination, hygiene, and sexual function.
Diagnosing Buried Penis
Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment. At our clinic, we employ various diagnostic techniques, such as:
• Physical Examination: To assess the extent of the condition.
• Ultrasound Imaging: To evaluate the underlying structures.
• Uroflowmetry: To measure urine flow and identify any obstructions.
Understanding the exact cause and severity of the condition is vital in choosing the right treatment approach.
Treatment Options
Treatment for buried penis depends on the underlying cause and the severity of the condition. Our clinic offers a range of treatment options:
• Surgical Intervention: In cases where surgery is needed, procedures may include:
o Excision of Excess Skin: To reveal the penis.
o Reconstructive Surgery: To correct any congenital or acquired deformities.
Our team is committed to providing compassionate and effective care tailored to the specific needs of each patient.
