I am having a lot of discomfort with my implant. The tubes feeding into the penis are to one side and pretty much a hard ganglia of hard plastic feeling tubes just under the surface of my skin between the scrotum and penis shaft. The other issue is the pump has settled in the middle of the two testicles and when I sit ,cross my legs walk up stairs and breathe it manages to pinch or put a great deal of pressure on my right testicle. So much so I am having a testicle removed just to make room for the pump.

On other notes, my wife doesn't seem to like it. It has changed the curve in my penis and my penile head seems to not swell like it used to. The other issue if that wasn't enough is the partial inflation I get constantly. My Dr's answer was just go into the bathroom and deflate it. But it has created some awkward situations with the grand kids.

Welcome to the forum Anthony696969.

Sorry to hear of the less-than-optimal (actually fairly dismal - for a working implant - it could be worse) outcome.

Have you gotten a second opinion? Removing a testicle when a repositioning might solve the problem seems pretty drastic. Repositioning the tubing should be done at the same time and might solve the curve as well. But you need a talented surgeon who knows what he is doing. One might be tempted to jump to the conclusion that the surgeon who put this one in could have done better.

What kind of implant do you have, How long ago implanted, size and number of RTEs (rear tip extenders) etc? The more we know about you the better targeted our answers will be. Most members put such details in their member signature which can be accessed and edited by clicking on your user name and following the menus.

I hope we can help without you going to extremes.

I agree. Removing a healthy testicle to make room sounds like malpractice to me. Perhaps you should consult another surgeon for a second opinion.

No the testicle removal is my idea. My baby makin days are over. 5 girls. That particular teste has hurt since one of my grandkids racked me with a toe kick while she was sitting in the grocery cart.
