Balinitis refers to the inflammation of the glans penis caused by factors such as trauma, irritation, or infection.

Since balinitis often occurs simultaneously with inflammation of the inner foreskin, balinitis and foreskin inflammation are usually combined and referred to as balanoposthitis.

The main symptoms are mainly characterized by redness, swelling, erosion, and ulceration.

Balanoposthitis can retrogradely infect the urinary system, leading to cystitis and pyelonephritis.

In addition, if the inflammation cannot be cured for a long time, it can directly affect sexual life, resulting in phenomena such as impotence and premature ejaculation.

This disease is prone to occur in summer and autumn and mostly affects young and middle - aged men, especially those with redundant foreskin or phimosis.
