A medical condition involving inflammation of both the glans and the foreskin of the penis.
From Greek 'balanos' (glans) plus 'posthe' (foreskin) plus '-itis' (inflammation). This medical term combines anatomical terms to create a precise diagnostic name.
The suffix '-itis' meaning inflammation is so common in medicine that doctors can diagnose or describe almost any body part's inflammation by just adding '-itis'—it's one of the most productive suffixes in medical language.
