Balanoposthitis is a medical condition characterized by inflammation of the glans (balan) and the surrounding foreskin (posthitis). It typically presents with irritation, redness, swelling, and sometimes discharge. Proper diagnosis and treatment depend on medical evaluation, as causes can be infectious or noninfectious. The term combines Greek roots for “balanos” (glans) and “posthe” (foreskin) with the suffix “-itis.”
