'''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]]. Although ballooning is a developmentally normal condition, not every boy experiences ballooning.

Ballooning assists in the creation of the [[preputial sac]]. | |||
