I have become increasingly concerned that my 6 month old son seems to have a buried penis, . I have tried to research this on-line and his appearance seems to match the descriptions given. He has been like this since birth. Does anyone else have any experience of this, and do you think i should take him to be checked out at the doctors. Does this correct itself? Cheers

Hi. Sorry, don't have experience of this but wondered if it was mentioned when he was born or at any of his check ups as I assume they would have if concerned. I know that lots of babies have a fat pad and if you push on it you will see that his penis is normal but hidden by the fat pad. Not sure if this sorts itself out as they get bigger but would be worth asking GP to have a look if you are worried.

Hi @mumof4beauties I know this thread is really old but I’m concerned about my 15mth old son as I think he has a buried penis and I’m trying to find any info I can or speak to people that may have had a similar experience as I’m so anxious and sad about it and can’t stop worrying about his mental health in the future :(.
