Buried penis

Buried penis - Wikipedia

one of the citations in the wikipedia article: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6202613/

Whilst not every obese male will suffer from this condition, Higuchi et al. [4] reported that 87% of men that received surgical treatment for buried penis were obese.

also thought this was interesting:

During circumcision, a circumferential incision is made. The leftover foreskin is then removed and the proximal skin is sutured to mucosa. In some cases, too much foreskin is removed (also called radical circumcision) or the suture line constricts post-operatively and cause cicatricial scarring. This can trap the penis in the remaining foreskin or push the penis into the suprapubic area, leading to a buried penis.
