What are the causes of phimosis?

Patient's question:

Married to my wife for many years, without any contraception, but have never been pregnant. After checking at the hospital, I found out, please ask about preputial adhesion and preputial tearing

Doctor's answer:

This should be a symptom caused by inflammation of the glans penis. In severe cases, it may present with shallow small ulcers or erosion, with purulent discharge. This condition primarily requires anti-inflammatory treatment, with erythromycin and tetracycline being the drugs of choice. For trichomoniasis-induced balanitis, metronidazole is the drug of choice. For Candida-induced balanitis, itraconazole or griseofulvin is commonly used.
In addition, during the treatment of balanoposthitis, it is crucial not only to receive timely treatment but also to pay special attention to the patient's dietary condition and psychological state. The patient must maintain a positive mood and a balanced diet to avoid unnecessary interference with the recovery of balanoposthitis.
