If you have soft glans before of the implant, is possible to have an implant or implant wont be functional because the soft glans?
As said above, the shaft and the glans fill up with blood through two completely different channels. One can be functional while the other is dysfunctional.
However, I would guess, in most cases they are both good or both bad.
You say in one post here that you glans is only half-hard and only gets real hard just before you orgasm. That was exactly my case.
I was lucky to get the glans problem fixed with the sclerotherapy. I don't know how long those results will last, and if I will get some long term harm from it, but for now it makes my glans swell up perfectly when I get aroused. And the implant does of course take care of the shaft.
If I hadn't done the sclerotherapy, what I would have had now would have been a rock hard shaft with the same semi-soft glans as before. The implant would of course still be functional. Sex can be had even with a totally soft glans. Orgasm can be achieved as well with a soft glans.
However, I still say that an implant is so much better if one has the luck of still being able to get a hard glans. I do sometimes have sex with a 'soft' glans. This can happen if I go a second time right after orgasm. Then my glans will be soft or semi-soft. And I think the pleasure level is night and day. It is less comfortable and less pleasurable with a soft glans. So does my wife think.
But - the world is full of people with an implant who cannot get a hard glans. This is probably the way it is for a vast majority. And most of them are still super happy with their implant. I probably would have been as well. Everything is relative. If you are used to no being able to get anything hard, not the shaft, nor the glans, and then all of a sudden you can get a rock hard shaft and have sex whenever you want (even with a soft glans) - then of course that is an enormous difference from before. Million times better.
So don't let your glans be a show stopper for getting or not getting an implant. If you cannot get an erection good enough for satisfactory sex, then an implant is an option to consider. It will, unless surgery is a total failure, give you a dick who works for sex.
And as always, the part about 'unless the surgery is a total failure' is an important issue.
Find a doc who minimises that risk. I would say only Eid or Kramer.
I did mine with Eid and he got everything perfect. When it is time for a revision I will obviously go to Eid since he did mine and and he did it great. Should he for some reason not be in business anymore by then, Kramer is my only choice.
