Зображення 00314. Balanitis xerotica obliterans

Balanitis xerotica obliterans often leads to phimosis; the prepuce may fissure, and the urethral orifice may be tight with relative difficulty in urinating. Tight foreskin should be circumcised. Potent corticosteroids are often beneficial; oral metronidazole has also been tried. In some cases urethroplasty may be needed.
