How long did it take for your cord nubs to disappear? I’m coming up on two months post op this Saturday- My nubs are still noticeable but not nearly as much as they were eight weeks ago.

I would say it was right about the 2 mo. mark, maybe a week or two more. I do remember being surprised when they just all of a sudden disappeared. It will happen soon.

I think mine took a few months. One side healed up a bit faster than the other.

Depending on how high you testicles were detached (how much cord was left behind) you may still feel them after healing. I was able to find mine inside my empty sac. When I finished my nullification, the doctor cut them higher as they were down in the sac. I can still find them if I touch myself in the right place.

They'll be there, but odds are you won't notice them. As the others above said, it will take a while.

I couldn't feel mine on day one. We hadn't discussed it, but my urologist made sure that I had nothing testicular left in my scrotum. My cords were cut off very high, the stumps were tucked into my abdominal cavity, then they were tacked down with a couple of sutures. I haven't asked him why he took such measures, but I like the results.

It was weird my nubs were pretty swollen and felt like tiny little bawls at first. I was afraid they would stay that way and was happy when the started to shrink up and disappear.

Mine never really have.

I think if I ever am able to have the rest of my scrotum removed it would be better.

Yeah same here 3 weeks after my surgery when I had a post surgery check up Dr. Arnkoff joked and told me, trust me the testicles are out even if you probably think they are not.

Mine were undetectable after about 3-4 month, no worry.

UPDATE - I’m coming up on 11 weeks post op this Saturday and the nubs are almost undetectable. They’re either a lot smaller, have retracted, or both. I’m also pleasantly surprised by how tight my empty sack is- not nearly as saggy as I was expecting it to become. I couldn’t be happier with recovery. It’s been picture perfect smooth.

I had an inguinal castration and my cords were fully removed. I had complications that made recovery difficult, but I'm glad to say I never had a feedback loop that anything was still in my sack.

Before I had the rest of my junk removed, my scrotum initially pruned and then gradually shrank to nearly flat.
