Small balls from Trt will it effect pump placement in my scrotum ?

The final frontier. Deciding when, if and how.

Dr. Hakky didn't mention it as a concern when he examined me and looked at my history, but I've added this to my list of questions to ask him the next time we talk. I'll let you folks know what he says.

My surgery is currently scheduled for October, so I have some time to find this out. It seems to me it depends on whether the scrotum contracts as the testicles atrophy, or stays the same size. If it keeps size that just means more space for a pump, if it contracts then it might make for a tight pump space and a very visible pump. "It is what it is" either way I suppose.


My balls shrunk and the scrotum stayed the same size.
Surgeon actually liked that, and the pump placement is perfect.

This was my experience. I stopped HCG many months prior to my surgery and let 'em get small. Then a couple months post op, I started growing 'em back with HCG so that the pump wasn't so prominent in my sack compared to my balls. Absolutely zero problem for me operating the pump with larger balls.
