I had a simple orchiectomy with no issue about 3 months ago (8/28). I was miffed that nobody explained that my cords would be sewn to my scrotum during recovery, but didn't mind once the left side correctly detached after 3 or so weeks.

However, it's been 3 months and the right side has not detached, is painful to pinch (it's obviously scar tissue). I've got an appointment to get it looked at, but they can't see me for another month, 12/23. I chose simple because the inguinal would leave scars on my hips which I didn't want. However, knowing what I know now I would've gone for the inguinal because I wouldn't have to have dealt with any of this, and I wouldn't have awkward feeling half cords, which I assume will only get smaller.

I have pretty much given up hope that it will magically detach itself, since the amount of pressure on either side should have pulled them apart by now. This is a constant point of discomfort and mild pain. Does anyone know how unusual this is? I imagine it's incredibly unusual.

I was wondering if anyone else could help me out with their personal experience on whether not this has happened to them.

I'm deeply afraid of surgery, and Orchi is the only surgery I wanted. I'm assuming I will now I to go back for another (or at best a quick vasectomy style procedure) to correct this, and that likely won't happen for another two months at best. I'm really sad.
