Patient's question:
My son had a hidden penis surgery at Shandong Qilu Hospital. He is 12 years old now. The recovery is okay, but when he walks, his penis retracts like a turtle's head. What should we do?Doctor's answer:
It should be said that as long as the penis achieves normal erection when erect, it is fine. My advice is first not to worry too much, as the child has just entered puberty and is in the process of growth and development. As long as the penis can erect normally, there should not be a significant problem. I suggest you wait and see for now. Hidden penis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to relapse after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan. Additionally, during the treatment period, it is recommended to maintain good living habits and a proper diet. I hope the male patient can recover as soon as possible!
