I'm wondering about the effects of masturbation on health. Is it generally good or bad? Also, if someone has been masturbating frequently over a long period, could that be harmful to their health? Just trying to understand if I should be concerned.

There is no evidence to suggest that masturbation is harmful to your health. If someone is experiencing any negative physical or emotional effects from excessive masturbation, it is important to address the underlying issues. It is recommended to maintain a balance in all aspects of life, including sexual activities. If you are experiencing any concerns related to masturbation or your sexual health, it is best to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice and guidance.

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.
