Revision was 15 days ago.
Scrotum swelling is down.but still present
There is definitely a fairly large of significantly firm tissue around the tubing just to the right of my penis. It isn't painful...no signs at all of infection. Just protruding. This is in the area of my previous pump and tubing but didnt have this before.
Can someone please assure me this is normal? Does it go away or decrease?
Thank you in advance!

No my pump is at the base of my scrotum.
That is the mass of tubing with what feels like fairly firm tissue surrounding it. No pain.
It has been there since day 1

If you have an electronic method of communication with your doctor I might would send him a picture of it just for clarification, it looks to me like the tubes are perhaps bunched up near the top, maybe due to swelling? I'm no surgeon though.

Would I be particularly worried? No... Would I check with the doctor? Yes. Is the family jewels and all, want the best of care you can get.

I will certainly speak with my Dr. about it at my follow up in a couple weeks.
I am definitely obsessing about it.
Anyone else have that bulge there?

Assurance will only be given by your doctor unfortunately. Most of here can only comment basis our experience. Having said that, I would not wait for 2 weeks and try to talk to the doctor earlier. Call them up and explain. If it takes to just go and sit in his office without appointment, do it. They won’t turn you away if you show up at clinic. Of course you know best if that is practically possible.

Good luck. Do keep us informed here on FT.

Not a direct answer, but can you gently pull down on your pump as suggested by most Drs? And if so does this bulge go down with the pump. If this is the case it is probably just inflammation causing your pump to ride up which will cause the tubes to bunch up.
