What Causes Tear On The Tip Of Foreskin During Intercourse?

Hello, I am a 50 year old man. I have noticed that for the past 5 months I have been noticing a slight tear on the tip of my foreskin on my penis and it hurts whenever I am being intimate with my wife. I went to the doctor and he told me it looks like a fungus and to use an anti-fungus ointment. I have and it would heal then when we become intimate it tears again. What could it be.

Urologist,  's  Response
Hi and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i can understand your anxiety.
Recurrent tears of the prepuce,could be due to fungal infection or phimosis.
Only a local examination by an Urologist, can confirm the exact cause.
Maintain good penile hygiene and avoid moisture over the area.
You need to undergo the following tests :Diabetics are prone for infection.
1. urine routine and culture.
2. blood routine,creatinine,RBS,LFT,and platelets.
