Tight scrotum diagnosis and MS pump placement

[drummerx]

Hello guys - I had a AMS 700 LGX w/MS pump implanted 3/16/26 via infrapubic. I called my surgeon’s office 7 days post-op asking about the pump rubbing hard against my thigh. It's probably a common problem. Feels like a lego in my scrotum. I made an appointment and he looked at the pump and said not to touch it for 2 weeks. Also, no heat or cold. Said to place a strip of gauze between my scrotum and my thigh. So I complied. At 25 days post-op I called his office to see if I could start pulling the pump down. Again, I made an appointment and went in. He examined me and said the pump was riding against the right side of my scrotum and the pump bulb was pointing back toward my body with the top of the pump pointing forward instead of down. He also explained that he had made a pouch for the pump and added a couple of stitches to hold the pump down. He told me I had a tight scrotum which I answered with “Huh?? Never been told that before!!! There is still quite a bit of swelling in my scrotum so he said to try to get my index finger under the bulb with my thumb on top of the pump and try to twist the pump until then pump is pointing downward. I've been doing this for a couple of days and not sure I am making any progress. Just reaching out and seeing if anyone else has had this problem. Thanks for your time.
