Webbed Penis is a condition in which the skin of the scrotum is attached to the ventral shaft of the penis at a higher point than normal, giving the appearance of a 'web' or 'turkey neck'. This condition is usually congenital, meaning it is present from birth, but can also occur as a result of circumcision.

Causes

The exact cause of webbed penis is not known. It is thought to occur due to an abnormality in the development of the penis and scrotum during fetal development. Some researchers believe that it may be related to hormonal imbalances during pregnancy. It can also occur as a complication of circumcision, particularly if the procedure is performed incorrectly or if there is excessive scarring.

Symptoms

The main symptom of webbed penis is the appearance of a 'web' or 'turkey neck' between the penis and scrotum. This can cause discomfort or pain during sexual activity or when wearing tight clothing. It can also cause psychological distress due to concerns about appearance.

Diagnosis

Webbed penis is usually diagnosed during a physical examination. The doctor will examine the penis and scrotum to determine the extent of the webbing. In some cases, further tests may be needed to rule out other conditions.

Treatment

Treatment for webbed penis usually involves surgery to remove the excess skin and reposition the scrotum. This is usually performed under general anesthesia. The procedure is generally safe and effective, with most men reporting improved comfort and appearance after surgery.
