Boys and weeing

When DS wees his foreskin balloons out for almost the whole length of his penis until he is finished. Is this normal? I've only just noticed because he has recently toilet trained. He's had one infection before that needed antibiotics to clear up and I'm worried it might be a problem.

Feel a bit awkward asking on a public forum about kids bits (and DP was no use, he actually said 'haven't you asked MN?').

(I had no idea how to phrase the title of this thread Confused)

I have two boys and have not seen this before but as google knows all I figured I would have a quick search and found this page with lots of replys

Thanks for that bunny, I have to admit I was too afraid to ask Dr Google (or more properly, too afraid of what other sites might come up!)

It puts my mind at rest at any rate.

Haven't googled but after my 5yr old's recent weeing problems (he keeps dribbling well after he thinks he's finished, after course of caneston and slight redness gone) GP said nothing obvious but to keep alert, especially if his foreskin ballons out when weeing (which it doesn't in DS's case).

I'd talk it over with GP to be sure.
