Patient's question:
Hello, my son JJ is small, I don't know if he has hidden penis. Some doctors say yes, some say no, I'm very confused. How exactly is hidden penis diagnosed?Doctor's answer:
From the symptoms, it seems that your child is relatively overweight. Due to the effect of fat, a small part of the penis may be hidden within the fat tissue, so the part visible externally is actually much smaller. However, this is not cryptorchidism, nor is it hidden penis; being overweight can affect the development of the penis, as can phimosis or excessive foreskin length. Therefore, at the appropriate time, circumcision may be considered. Wishing you all the best.For patients with hidden penis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
