You wake up one morning and notice your penis looks a little shorter. Soon, you’re convinced your losing length by the day. After awhile, if you don’t take action, your member is practically gone.
It sounds like a nightmare, but it’s actually a real medical condition. It’s called a buried penis—also known as a hidden penis—and doctors are seeing more and more cases of it.
Simply stated, “a buried penis is one where the penis itself does not extend outside the body,” says Drogo Montague, M.D., a urologist at the Cleveland Clinic. “There is an opening where the penis would normally hang, and the head is usually plush with skin, but there’s no shaft outside of the body.”
In an extreme case, your member might look more like a clitoris than a penis, says Ming-Hsien Wang, M.D., an associate professor of pediatric urology Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
Of course, change occurs on a continuum, notes Dr. Montague. You might notice at first, for instance, that your penis just seems to get shorter and shorter. (Here are 10 things you never knew about your penis and your balls.)
