Balanorrhagia

/ˌbælənɔːˈreɪdʒə/ noun

Definition

A medical condition involving excessive discharge or fluid loss from the glans (head of the penis).

Etymology

From Greek 'balanos' (glans) and 'rhagia' (excessive flow or discharge), medical terminology combining roots to describe a pathological symptom.

Kelly Says

Ancient Greek medical terms are still the backbone of modern medicine because Greek doctors were the first to systematically classify and name diseases, creating a shared language that doctors worldwide still use today.
