No erection. I felt something very hard in my scrotum thought omg the tubing is bulging. I felt more and felt what I thought was a collapsed tube was actually the implant from my penis. The realized the stiff hard part was the back side. Again wtf. How can an entire right side come out. Not doing anything strenuous cause I’m sidelined getting cervical neck fusion surgery in three weeks. I’m so uncomfortable in my scrotum I can’t put this off. My penis is leaning way to the right due to the implant on left pushing without resistance. I tried to call my surgeon on call service no return call. I also emailed AMS rep and called left message. I’m so pissed off. My initial surgery was hell. I do t know if surgeon messed up or AMS has an issue. My feeling is that it wasn’t right when installed. My erections were never rock hard. Always pointed straight down never straight out. When feeling down there in the past I noticed a hard spot on side of penis which when pumped up would go away. When deflated would return with sometimes what felt life something purtruding out. I have no idea. Something messed up. Now more surgery. Crap!!!!


Just thinking "out loud" as it were, but if it's totally deflated now, you might be able to put one pump in to round out and firm the cylinder without expanding it, then push it from your scrotum, back into the corpus where it belongs. Then wear some padding in a pair of tight briefs to keep your scrotum compressed so it won't fall out again, until you can get in to the doctor. Since it's distending the scrotum, as long as it hasn't totally fallen out (that's not likely), it may be possible to partially reseat it by manipulating it through your scrotum. Don't forget padding in some tight briefs though or it will fall out again.

It won’t pump. It is completely fallen out. There is no way of pushing it back in much less pushing the rear part back in. The entire right side now resides in my scrotum.

This is what’s confusing me. The implant goes 1/3rd inside the body, how can it simply fall into the scotrum? Another commentator said that the stitches did not heal properly, so I guess this issue happens when the whole thing is still healing.

OP, after the operation did you exert a lot of pressure around your butt area by doing heavy exercises, sitting and getting up a lot, etc? Also OP, you did not mention which model of implant do you have - AMS LGX or AMS CX?


Indusvalley, everyone's anatomy is different. the one-third rule is really not cast in stone but rather an average. In my anatomy, I have almost no crus at all. My implant goes literally about 1.2" (3 cm) inside my body, if that. I've got 0.75" (2 cm) of the rear plastic that I can feel at my base. My crus stops right under my pelvis/pubic bone. The average man has a crus that continues in a "V" fashion from the pubic bone outward to near each side of the anus but that is "AVERAGE".

My implant is not 1:2 ratio of inside to outside, otherwise my 5.5" length would mean I had 2.75" inside. Mine is more like 1:4 ratio with four times as much OUTSIDE as there is INSIDE.


That makes sense. Also I think you lucked out by getting CX instead of LGX. My feeling is that OP’s crus is also small like yours but LGX is sort of more elastic type cylinder that expands and contracts. So maybe the contraction sort of made the cylinder come out from the crus and stitches didn’t heal and it landed in the scrotum.

Got an e mail back first thing from AMS rep. Totally pawning this off on surgeon. Without any facts just said it’s not a failure. I wrote back, that’s easy to say when the the entire right side of implant isnt sitting in your scrotum. I told her that maybe legal might get a higher priority on this. Maybe what she should have said was talk to your surgeon and let’s find out what happened. We will get this fixed. I called surgeon waiting now for over an two hours no response.

Saw surgeon this morning. He in fact agreed that the entire right side had fallen out into my scrotum. Stated he has never heard anything like this. I go into surgery to get whole new system. Hopefully won’t be as bad as when I originally received implant 4 months ago. I also mentioned that to get fully erect which still pointed towards the floor only took 3 pumps. That’s all. To me that’s unusual after all I’ve read. Hopefully I’ll be more satisfied with this one. Keeping fingers crossed.

Really a very unfortunate situation.
There are things that we can't really understand.
But in reality this implant never worked normally. Something really serious happened.
The doctor should have made sure at the surgery that everything was ok, but I don't think that happened.
I hope the problem has been resolved in the meantime.
Please keep us updated.
wish you the best of luck.
