Implant failure

[Ruktitan]

Any ideas what this weird lump is since pump failure!??

All of a sudden I have this tubing something. It feels like a hard plastic cube. Never had this before when it was working. I can also hear if I squeeze the implants a squishing bubbling sound. I guess from the leak. Anything I should be worried about?

The next available appointment with urologist is end of August! This has ruined 2024 already.

The little cube thing on the tube is probably the splice where they connect the reservoir (or the cylinders if not a pre connected unit ) the squishing sound you hear is from air in the system. Mine did that on my first one as it all didn't leak out so I could still pump about 3 times or so before it went flat, this time it's one pump that's all... Still haven't figured out how if the fluid leaks out, air gets in? I mean it is sealed inside you right?

You mean appointment with the surgeon who did your implant? I do not know if you have access to a competent implant surgeon in your area and insurance coverage, but you need to an expert opinion. From what I read in your posts, there is a leak somewhere in the tubing rather than a pump failure which is most common with Titan. Unfortunately, waiting till August will affect your size, as you will not be able to inflate for almost 6 months.

I think I can actually feel the bottom of the pump has a split. When I press it in its not smooth anymore on the bottom.

Yeah the 6 months wait is not okay. I'm based in the UK and it's NHS. I don't have insurance and it would be in the cost of £15k to go private. I have had to make a private consultation in 2 weeks and hope they can refer me in for more urgent surgery. I can't wait that long it's already ruining my life and relationships.

I hope they get you an urgent appointment, based on the situation.
