Ballooning of the foreskin occurs when urine flows out of the urethra of the penis faster than it flows out of the foreskin. Ballooning cannot occur until the inner layer of the foreskin has separated from the glans penis with which it is attached by a synechia. Ballooning is a developmentally normal condition. Ballooning may cause some transient discomfort if it pulls apart the synechial connection to the glans penis.
Babu et al. (2005) 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.[1]
