Pump feels as if it is glued in place in my scrotum

[Bionic_Brian]

Hi everyone. Three weeks ago, on February 2nd, I received my AMS 700 LGX and after 18 days I had my first check-up with the urologist, and I was allowed to start cycling and, because that went well right away at the outpatient clinic, I was also allowed in having sex.

Everything seems to be going very well, even the first sex didn't feel too bad (I've heard less positive experiences from people who have had an implant for a longer period), so nothing to complain about, but...

The pump I have in my scrotum seems to be somehow attached to my scrotum itself, as if it's glued in place. This is a very unpleasant sensation, and it really feels like hairs are constantly being pulled out of my scrotum, one by one, very slowly. Not a pleasant feeling.

Has anyone else experienced this, and will it go away, or is this something that needs attention from the urologist when I have my next check-up (which is in two weeks).

Hi Brian,
I'm on day 28 and my pump is also stuck to my scrotum, but in a position that doesn't bother me.

I talked to my doctor about it via WhatsApp and he thinks it's unlikely there's any kind of adhesion or encapsulation at this stage.
I have an appointment with him on March 5th.

Thank you for your reply.
My pump sits very high in my scrotum, so high that when my wife sits on me, she's actually sitting on the pump, or when I thrust, I'm actually hitting it. I'd like the pump to be a bit lower, and I have to keep trying to get it to sit lower with massage and gentle pulling, but as I said, it's stuck to my skin, as if it were glued.

Bionic_Brian, my pump adhered to my scrotum, and I created a thread to gather experiences from other forum members -- link below. My first step was to learn the difference between the pump being secured in the Dartos pouch, versus adhesion. If that's not familiar, its described in detail in the thread below. Hope this provides some helpful information. Will be anxious to hear what your Dr advises regarding the pump sitting high. Most tell patients to pull down in the early weeks and that seems to work for many, but not all. Best wishes !

Hey Bionic. Been there. What is most likely for you and was definitely the case for me was that your surgeon actually imbedded your pump into the dartos facia inside your scrotum. I don’t understand why surgeons don’t regularly explain this step to their patients as it’s a common surgical practice when using a scrotal as opposed to an infrapubic approach so as to help keep the pump in place. If you check with your surgeon I’d bet that is what is happening in your case too.
