For those who got an IPP via the infrapubic incision approach:
Are you comfortable with where the pump rests in your scrotum?
Does the palpable tubing bother you after recovery?
Thank you.

Re: Infrapubic approach - pump placement and tubing
Not really, as I wasn't consistent enough with pulling the pump down in the first couple of weeks and it migrated upwards and healed there.
I now understand why the nurse was so insistent after surgery that I pull it down regularly.
My bad.

Sorry to hear this and I hope things get better for you.
Could you share the pulling protocol advised by your surgeon? Is it done only for the first 2 weeks?

Re: Infrapubic approach - pump placement and tubing
I've had both pump placements and infrapubic is way better in my opinion. It is far less noticeable and the tubing isn't intrusive.
