Best way to detach pump from scrotum????

Postby johndoe365 » Thu Nov 16, 2023 6:52 pm

Hey all, im 2 weeks out and my doctor said my pumps stuck on my scrotum.
As my question states, how do i detach my pump from my balls?
I do the warm baths, pull down, pinch on the skin, I think I go aggressive with it.
How long / how did yall get ur pump detached from ur balls.

I can only tell what worked for me. I would grip the pump from both sides like I was going to actually pump it. But I did my best to let my fingers slide off the pump & gently squeeze between the pump & the scrotum skin. Gentle is key. I did this several times a day. Generally tried to do it when I went to the bathroom. It takes some time. I don't remember how long but maybe a month or longer. Strange thing is that when it finally did release I was slow to realize that it had.
Good luck & be patient. It will release.

Walk! As much as you can. I was walking 1 mike (slowly) at 1 month. By week 6 i was up to 3 miles. Never had an issue.

It has been six weeks since surgery and my pump is attached to the bottom of my scrotum. I have been taking baths twice a day and trying to pull the skin off like pulling off a bandage but no success. I am going to tell my doctor next week when I see him just do it surgically. We can’t even use the pump until this detaches due to the pain when he tried to pump it up. Please give me some feedback on how long it took others and if anyone else just gave up and asked it to be detached surgically.

Which implant do you have? I have the AMS and I had several problems with the pump. My entire surgery process, from day 1 until healing. The entire process was a 9 - 10. But that pump CRAP..."cycle...inflate...deflate...positioning.....all that crap was a rated a 2 at best. I was almost ready to tell the URO....."Take this damn thing out". Because of the support in here, from many, many bros, I hung in there. It had to be something I was doing wrong. So the solution, I contacted the AMS support team. I had a meeting with two of the AMS team members at the URO office. They went into detail of the pump things, in detail.....very detail. I left the office in much better shape. I was able to position the pump against my scrotum and pump much easier. Even taking a warm / hot shower on the sack to loosen things up. I took that MOCK-UP PUMP they give you at the beginning of surgery and a rock the same size of the pump ball, to the office. Hell to me, both were the same hardness. Now it's a piece of cake to pump it up. Hang in there.....You will get there. It's been 7 months since surgery. Thank God I didn't give up.....but almost did. I was frustrated as hell.

I had to keep pulling on my pump while pulling the scrotum at the same time while taking hot showers, it took awhile but I did start feeling it seperate. Hang in there you will soon be enjoying it.
