Hi Guys any experiance of this please?

I'm only just 19 days post replacement (and started cycling) but the earlier OTR implant, that was in situ for about 10 weeks, seemed to float about in my scrotum.

One part of my pump is attached to the side of the scrotum skin and I can't detach it. It's been 7 weeks since post-op. I'm not getting any pain or discomfort and in one way it makes it easier to use as it's always in the same orientation.

Others have mentioned this and I think gently massaged it to move around and did so in warm baths.

Thanks Guys,

I think, like moetheman, mine has been attached in some way..and I agree it help keep hold of the pump while pumping...

I wont mess with it too much I'll e-mail my Andrology nurse and ask. I'll report back here for info for all.

Do you know what the normal / usual cycling time should be nearly two weeks in? I have been told to cycle but not for how long. I think I was told every other day initially but no time frame.
