Current studies have shown that 52% of men experience a form of erectile dysfunction at some point. The chances further increase by 5% to 15% between the ages of 40 to 70; while it does increase with age, it’s still very much possible for young men to experience erectile dysfunction. Thankfully, there is something men can do about it, and that’s by utilizing the P-Shot and O-Shot treatment, but if you are a woman and have sexual dysfunction, O-Shot is for you—but this is for another time.
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is when men have difficulty maintaining an erection firm enough for fulfilling sexual intercourse. While it is customary sometimes to experience difficulty keeping an erection, if it occurs too often and consistently—thus disrupting your sexual activities—the doctor may diagnose you with erectile dysfunction. Fortunately, there is good news, and men can seek a P-Shot treatment to help them stop erectile dysfunction. Meanwhile, it will also boost their ability for sexual endurance and also enhance sensation.
However, what is P-Shot? If you want to know everything about the treatment, read the article further.
What Is P-Shot?
A P-Shot, short term for Priapus Shot, is a regenerative injection treatment specifically designed to combat erectile dysfunction. The therapy utilizes the regenerative capabilities of the natural growth factor injections (Natural Growth Factor Injections) treatment. It involves using your own body cells and tissue and then placing them into your penis tissue to give you a better erection and boost sexual performance.
Why Is It Called Priapus Shot?
Have you ever wondered where did it get its iconic name? Well, the story behind it is sort of funny. The term Priapus was coined by Dr. Charles Runels after he tested the shot on his own penis. After seeing the results, he felt that naming it after the Greek god of male regenerative power—Priapus—would perfectly describe what he was trying to accomplish.
The results are clearly there, so how does it work?
Unfortunately, even recent research isn’t sure why the treatment works, some hypotheses on why it works exist. To give you an idea of how it works, you first need to understand Natural Growth Factor Injections treatment.
What Is Natural Growth Factor Injections Treatment?
Natural Growth Factor Injections is a therapy used to treat injuries and chronic pain. It can work in tandem with other treatments, but it is also effective on its own. Dermatologists use Natural Growth Factor Injections all the time to help speed recovery and reduce pain. Dr. Richard A. Knoblich developed the use of blood serum and bone marrow aspirates in orthopedic procedures in the 1970s, noticing that bones healed more quickly once infused with this mixture. Both P-Shot and O-Shot treatment takes advantage of the Natural Growth Factor Injections’s capabilities.
The procedure involves:
- Drawing blood typically from the arm
- Separating the natural growth factor injections from other components through a centrifuge
- Injecting them into a recipient to speed up the healing
Why Only Extract The Plasma?
Platelets are a type of cell found in the blood plasma. Blood platelets form clots on the surface of blood vessels, stop blood loss, and help your body heal. Their chemical structures contain growth components, and these components assist in helping your body heal faster. They exist in your bloodstream, but specifically in the plasma. So what we need is the plasma that contains the platelets. As for the rest, red blood cells and white blood cells, we won’t need them for the treatment. That’s why your provider will place the blood on a centrifuge to spin it, separating the plasma from the rest of the blood contents. The hypothesis behind P-Shot is that it works thanks to the platelets having regenerative capabilities. However, how it exactly works in your penis tissue isn’t exactly straightforward. We know that it heals, but we don’t see how it heals the tissues.
Results
Seeking a P-Shot treatment is beneficial for men and can definitely enhance sexual function. Generally speaking, men can expect the following benefits:
- Boost in erection firmness
- Straighter erection
- Improved sexual experience
- More circulation to the penis
However, the effects can differ from man to man. That’s why you need to seek professional help first.
Seek Consultation of P-Shot
There are many reasons orgasms happen or don’t happen, and it could be physical, mental, or emotional reasons. How you do your sexual activities is up to you, so there’s not enough quantifiable data on how much exactly it will benefit men. So your experience might not exactly be enhanced since there are so many different factors. That’s why you should seek consultation from your doctor or specifically a urologist (doctors who specialize in the male reproductive tract). They have the information needed for your questions about this procedure. Likewise, they might even recommend you some specialists who perform a P-Shot. Seeking consultation is a must-do for P-Shot and O-Shot treatment.
What Happens During The Treatment?
Fortunately, you don’t have to do anything specific several days or weeks before the procedure. But, you may want to undergo blood tests first to check your overall health, ensuring that your platelets are healthy, abundant, and effective enough for the treatment.
Once you go in for the appointment, expect to lie down on a table for quite a while. Since we’ve already discussed Natural Growth Factor Injections extraction, you can get an idea of what to expect. Here is what happens during your P-Shot treatment:
- Your provider will apply some numbing cream or local anesthesia on your genital areas.
- Next, they will extract a small amount of blood from you, typically on the arm.
- They will then place the blood on a vial and put it on a centrifuge. It is a device that spins to separate the Natural Growth Factor Injections from the rest of the blood components.
- After the spinning, they will extract the Natural Growth Factor Injections from the vial and then place them in different syringes.
- Finally, they inject the Natural Growth Factor Injections into the penile shaft; it will only take a few minutes and require around 4 to 5 injections.
- To ensure that the Natural Growth Factor Injections works as intended, they will give the penis a pump to draw blood into it. Your provider will ask you to do this daily for at least 10 minutes for the next few weeks to allow the Natural Growth Factor Injections to settle.
