Where does your pump rest?
For those who have the implant, do any of you have your pump above your testicles or does it sit below at the bottom of the scrotum?
Re: Where does your pump rest?
My pump rests at the very bottom of my scrotum. My testes seem to have been displaced slightly upward.

Hello, my pump is on my left side and is an inch or so from the top of the scrotum. The testical is mostly below and behind the pump which is forward. My pump and my left ball get along nicely.

well I have only had it for 3 weeks, but it is resting on the bottom of my scrotum just a little left of center. My right testicle lives exactly where it always has, but my left seems to be pushed a little out and up - competing with the pump for the best spot.

Mine does, the surgeon actually created a pocket high up in the scrotum and placed it there. It causes me a lot of problems when inflated. The pump obstructs proper penetration and the tubes coming out of the pump rub hard against the shaft causing pain. I'm trying to get it fixed but the VA doesn't want to cooperate so far.

My IPP pump is on the left side and the bulb is at the bottom of the scrotum, my AUS pump is on the right and the bulb is also atthe bottom. My testicles are hiding somewhere higher up, actually the only way I know I still have them is when one of them gets mashed a little by a pump (usually the IPP pump). I am very happy with the pump placements and I nver had to pull them down. I am right handed so the AUS got the prefered placement.
