    What is balanitis or balanoposthitis (Infection of the glans and/or foreskin)

    You have just been diagnosed with balanitis by your physician... Let's review together what you discussed in the office. Balanitis simply means a swelling or inflammation of the end of the penis (glans or head). Inflammation most often presents as a redness and/or a blotchy rash of the glans, sometimes with a discharge (this is quite rare). The condition may be accompanied by an itchy or uncomfortable sensation but often feels completely normal.

    Posthitis is a similar inflammation of the prepuce (foreskin) and is treated the same way. The two may occur simultaneously - balanoposthitis.
