Systems and methods are provided for a bodily fluid management system for pumping bodily fluid such as lymph. The bodily fluid management system may include an implantable pump with a rotor having a magnetic portion and inlet and outlet tubes that connect to a fluid chamber. The fluid chamber has a volume that can be selectively reduced or increased via the rotor. The rotor is designed to periodically open and close kinking valves at each of the inlet and outlet tube to permit bodily fluid to enter the fluid chamber during an intake cycle and exit the fluid chamber during a discharge cycle. The magnetic portion of the rotor may be caused to rotate by an external controller that is positioned outside of the body and adjacent to the pump. The external controller may have a magnet that magnetically interfaces with the rotor to cause the rotor to rotate.
