Balanitis and balanoposthititis

Balanitis (inflammation of the glans) is a skin disorder that affects the glans of the penis and causes swelling, redness and discomfort.
Balanitis can be acute (usually heals fairly quickly) or chronic (lasts longer than a few weeks).

When an illness is described, the terms "acute" and "chronic" refer to the period over which it is suffered, not the severity of the illness.
You can also suffer from balanitis, which occurs again and again after treatment.

This is known as recurrent balanitis.
Balanitis does not cause impotence (erectile dysfunction) because it does not affect the circulation of the blood.
This disease affects both children and adults.
