balanitis - inflammation of inflammation of the foreskin and head of the penis
Definition for balanitis
Balanitis is inflammation of the glans penis (Greek: balanos). When the foreskin (or prepuce) is also affected, it is termed balanoposthitis.
Lack of aeration and irritation because of smegma and discharge surrounding the glans penis causes inflammation and edema.
