What is a hidden or buried penis ?

A hidden or buried penis is a condition where the penile shaft is partially or fully obscured by surrounding skin or fat. This can lead to difficulties with hygiene, sexual function, and confidence. At Moorgate Andrology, our specialist surgeons provide safe, effective surgical correction in the UK, helping men regain both function and self-esteem.

If the penis is already shorter than normal, it can be very difficult to urinate properly when it is hidden. Some of our patients tell us that they have to sit down to urinate as they find it very difficult to use a urinal.

The first thing that should be addressed when considering treatment for a buried penis is your weight. Do you have excess fat around the pubic area ?. If so try to lose this weight as this can make all the difference. If you have tried this but failed, then procedures such as pubic liposuction can be performed to correct this.

In some cases, there are problems associated with the foreskin. Check that your foreskin does not overhang the end of your penis excessively. If you are unsure arrange a consultation with a Urologist to get this checked.

A buried penis can occur when too much skin is taken in a circumcision.

 Surgical Correction – What’s   Involved?

      Hidden penis surgery focuses on exposing and supporting            the penile shaft include:

  1.         Skin and fat removal – trimming excess skin and pubic fat           to expose the shaft.

  2.  

  3.        Ligament release – freeing the suspensory ligament if                   indicated for penile lengthening

  4.  

  5.      Skin grafting or tightening – restoring natural penile contour      when necessary.

  6.  

    Surgery is performed under anaesthesia in a CQC-registered       facility, ensuring safety, precision, and discreet care.
