I have a friend and he is 34 yrs. old, he has a buried penis. He got a circumcision at the age of 29 he said. It seems like they have taken to much skin from him. What can he do to get this problem fixed? He is a little on the over weight side he stands 5' feet 6 in tall and weigths 240lbs.
I am a special care nurse in a newborn nursery in Wisconsin. My son is 3 months old and had a circ prior to leaving the hospital. The penis looked fine and once it healed it retracted back into the body like a dimple. He is very chubby (18lbs) and some days I wonder if he even has one! As long as I push back all the skin and clean around the head every time I bath him there shouldn't be a problem. This is what I have been told by all the pediatricians that I work with. They said it will re-emerge as he gets older and that is very normal. I have changed diapers on my friend's baby boys that are as old as 9months and they all look the same. "Where is the penis?" I wouldn't worry too much unless a urologist has seen it and told you there is definitely something wrong. Many times the skin around the circ looks abnormal until the penis grows and stretches it. Hope this helps.
