thank you for the answer. It sounds like this foaming is quite common. Could it also be pre -ejaculate fluid that is causing the little bubbles? He is going through puberty.
My only concern is kidney disease. Please put my mind at ease that this is not the case. He is healthy, no pain, no swelling, no other symptoms. thank you
Also, this happens even during the day, not only the first time he wakes up

Brief Answer:
kidney function can be tested. it's not pre-ejaculate.

Hello again.
You don't need to worry about kidney function. If you're are very worried, his blood can be tested for kidney function. The tests are serum creatinine and urea. Further, an ultrasound of abdomen will confirm that both kidneys are normal.
It's not pre-ejaculate as you think. Don't worry.
If you've any other doubts, contact me.
