Brief Answer:
know about the surgery performed for buried penis

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX, welcome to HCM. Thanks for choosing us.

I share your concerns. But let me tell you that it is not a cause of concern, as testes need to be in scrotum, not necessarily at the bottom. Even testes at the middle level would be able to produce hormones and sperms required for fertility.

Generally DARTOS muscle is manipulated to correct buried penis. This might be reason behind the position of testes, as it is(Dartos muscle) pulled upwards to bring up the buried penis.You can meet the surgeon who performed the surgery or you can meet any other surgeon with the complete treatment history specially operation notes. This will help you in finding out the cause behind the present condition and take surgeon's opinion also.

I hope my reply will benefit you. Please write to HCM or me for follow up questions or any other health related issues. I wish you and your family good health. Thank you.
