Why is balanoposthitis prone to recurrence?

Patient's question:

A few weeks ago, I contracted urethritis and balanoposthitis. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor prescribed Compound Huangbai Liquid for topical application to the affected area. For the urethritis, I took anti-inflammatory tablets and levofloxacin orally. Now, the urethritis has no discomfort and is basically cured. Why is balanoposthitis prone to recurring?

Doctor's answer:

Clinical diagnosis of non-standardized treatment leads to recurrent exacerbations of the condition. Additionally, due to the prolonged course of balanoposthitis, the misuse and harm of antibiotics make it easy for bacteria to develop resistance, resulting in traditional treatments failing to achieve ideal outcomes. Long-term chronic inflammation affects urogenital health, leading to the recurrence of conditions such as prostatitis, erectile dysfunction, and premature ejaculation. Moreover, in daily life, it is important to avoid overexertion and pay attention to personal hygiene.
