Inflammation of the head and the foreskin of the penis.

In the uncircumcised male, balanitis (inflammation of the glans, the rounded head of the penis) and posthitis (inflammation of the foreskin) usually occur together as balanoposthitis: inflammation of both the glans and foreskin. See the entire definition of Balanoposthitis

Inflammation of the glans penis and/or the foreskin. Recurrent balanitis or balanoposthitis is sometimes regarded as an indication for circumcision, but there is no evidence that circumcision is effective in reducing recurrences of balanitis.
