I'm having some trouble with my erection and I'm worried. When I take Megalis, it seems to help a bit, but I'm noticing the glans of my penis isn't getting as hard as the rest. I'm really looking for a permanent fix for this. Can you give me some advice on what I should do?

It sounds like you may be experiencing issues with erectile function beyond just the physical erection of the penis. While Megalis can help with erectile strength, persistent issues with the glans may indicate a need for further evaluation. I recommend consulting a urologist to rule out any underlying conditions and explore more targeted treatment options.
