Ballooning of the foreskin occurs when urine flows out of the urethra of the penis faster than it flows out of the foreskin of an intact boy. Ballooning cannot occur until the inner layer of the foreskin has separated from the glans penis to which it is attached by a synechia.[1] Although ballooning is a developmentally normal condition, not every boy experiences ballooning. Ballooning contributes to separation of the foreskin from the glans penis, but may cause some transient, temporary discomfort as it pulls apart the synechial connection to the glans penis. Ballooning assists in the creation of the preputial sac.
The layer of dartos muscle in the foreskin keeps the tip closed to protect the penis from infection.[2] The pressure of the urine is necessary to open it to allow passage of urine. The pressure is what causes the ballooning.
Babu et al. (2004) compared boys with ballooning with boys without ballooning. No evidence of obstructed urinary flow was found. Ballooning is a self-limiting condition that disappears with normal development.[3]
No attempt to retract the foreskin should be made. Forcible retraction is harmful. Wright (1994) advises that the first person to retract the boy’s foreskin should be the boy himself.[4]
The Canadian Urological Association states:
Ballooning of the foreskin during voiding is not associated with obstructed voiding and is not an indication for circumcision.[5]
