Phimosis, pain at the urethral meatus. What should I do?

Patient's question:

I have been to the hospital many times. They all said it was balanitis. My foreskin is a bit long, but the doctors don't recommend its removal. I have had two urine tests and one prostate exam, all of which were normal. At the dermatology hospital, a thorough examination revealed an unexpected case of fungal balanitis. I have taken fluconazole, roxithromycin, azithromycin, and levofloxacin, and used triamcinolone, bicalutamide, and clotrimazole cream. Now, the glans penis is sore.

Doctor's answer:

You can take metronidazole tablets to treat it, take the medication on schedule, and avoid sexual activity during treatment. Both partners should be treated simultaneously. The condition of balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term oral medication. For male patients, it is important to immediately go to a professional and reputable hospital for diagnosis, and treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, it is important to restrict sexual activity, maintain a good mood, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
