What Causes Inverted Penis In A Child?
my son is 3. He has a fever. I went to change his diaper and his penis was inverted. This happened 3 other times since he was born. I just push on the base and it comes back out. Why does this happen.

this is very common , don't worry , usually it happens with chubby kids and has nothing to do with fever .
the public fat around the base of the penis get puffy and the penis looks like it's inverted , but it's not , it right there and you need to push around it to make it visible . it does not warrant any intervention
I hope this helps
