Buried Penis: Why It Happens and How It’s Treated

In this episode of UroPatient, hosted and presented by Vic Senese, RN, BSN, FAUNA, we break down everything you need to know about buried penis, a condition that can affect both children and adults and is often misunderstood. A buried penis occurs when the penis is hidden beneath the skin or surrounding fat in the abdomen, thigh, or scrotal area. While it may appear small or concealed, the issue is often related to surrounding tissue—not penile size. This condition can lead to significant physical and emotional challenges, including difficulty with urination, hygiene problems, recurrent infections, and sexual dysfunction.

In this video, you’ll learn:

What a buried penis is and how it differs from other conditions

Common causes, including obesity, skin conditions, and prior surgeries

Symptoms and complications to watch for

When to seek medical evaluation

Treatment options—from lifestyle changes to surgical reconstruction

How outcomes can dramatically improve quality of life
