He has an appointment tomorrow what questions or test should I as my doctor. I don t know of any kidney problems in genetics, but my younger brother had surgery when he was 8 to open his pee hole because his steam was slow. Just not sire of it could be same condition.

Hi.... I understand your concern. For you to disucss with the doctor there are two possibilities -

1. Tight prepuce.
2. Posterior urethral valves.

The tests which you need to consider are - Ultrasound abdomen, micturating cystourethrogram.
