Pump in a bad spot

Hi guys

I'm having a little bit of a problem here and I was hoping somebody maybe could give me a suggestion. I had my surgery about 9 weeks ago and I still haven't deflated my penis.

I want to. The problem is that I can't actually reach the pump.

For a while, it was because it was still so kind of swollen. The doctor gave me some steroids and an antibiotic which seemed to take the swelling down. Now I've realized that the pump is so high up inside of me that I can't actually grab the ball, let along get to the release valve. I

t seems like it drops down a little bit every once in a while, but then goes back up to a place where I can't get to it.

Is there something I can do? Has anybody ever had this before?

I'm hoping this is kinda normal and not something that would require a procedure of some type.

I appreciate any advice you can give me.

Hey Man

I read on here before that some doctors advise pulling down on the pump, gently but firmly, in the healing phase. You can't reach the ball at all? I'd text Clavell and ask him. If it doesn't work after some time, i guess sadly there is no option other than adding some tubing with surgery.

Good luck

Wow. 9 weeks is a long time my friend. This is the first pump related issue i’ve ever heard with Dr. Clavell. Please keep us updated.

I bet that if you use a hotpad or a fairly warm bath the scrotum will relax enough that you can work the pump. I had to use a heatpad for a little over a week before I could consistently use my pump.
