The P-Shot involves taking platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from your blood and injecting it into your penis. This means your doctor takes your cells and tissues and injects them into your penile tissues to promote tissue growth and purportedly give you better erections. The most popular form is called the Priapus Shot ( P – shot).
PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma.
Our bodies have a remarkable capacity to heal themselves. Regeneration of new tissue is accomplished by the natural production of stem cells. PRP involves concentrated platelets, rich in bioactive proteins, which release growth factors to stimulate cellular regeneration and accelerate tissue repair. The benefits of PRP were initially used in wound healing, dentistry and the treatment of sports injuries, but now have evolved to address aesthetic concerns and sexual dysfunction (erectile dysfunction and Peyronie’s Disease for men).
PRP is in the category of regenerative autologous treatments, which means it comes from your own blood and can stimulate cellular regeneration and tissue repair. Platelets are one of the cells in our blood and when activated, they can release growth factors and other proteins.
The name P-Shot is actually a shortened version for the Priapus Shot. It was coined by Dr. Charles Runels after he first injected his own penis. He felt that Priapus, the Greek god of male regenerative power, perfectly represented what he was trying to achieve.
The growth factors & proteins released by the high concentration of platelets in PRP in turn activate stems cells and stimulate cellular repair and regeneration wherever they are applied in the body. In addition, collagen production and the formation of new blood vessels occurs and further aids in tissue repair.
When you see your sexologist /andrologist for a P-shot, you will be made to sit/lie on a table. Your penis will be applied with numbing cream/lotion. Few millilitres of blood will be drawn from your vein into a syringe or a collection tube. The blood will then be transferred into test tubes that go into a centrifuge machine. After a few minutes of spins, the platelets and plasma get separated from the blood and clear yellow liquid can be seen in the tubes.
The yellow liquid is treated with calcium gluconate solution to activate the platelets. Then the liquid is taken in syringes with small needles and injected into the shaft of the penis slowly in different areas. The injected liquid immediately adds girth and length for obvious reasons. This is just a start. The platelets and plasma promote repair and growth of erectile muscles and the blood vessels inside the penis shaft.
The PRP injection is performed in our office. It should take about 60 minutes from start to finish but we do usually allow a little extra time. You may drive yourself home after the procedure.
You may resume sexual activity about 4 hours after procedure on the same day.
Since PRP is extracted from your own blood, there are few and only minor potential side effects. These include minor bleeding or bruising, swelling, and very rarely infection.
Yes, the P-Shot can increase penis size, but not in the way you might think. The P-Shot does not actually make your penis longer, but it can help to achieve a fuller and firmer erection, which can give the appearance of a larger penis.
Again, technically yes, the P-Shot can increase girth. But this is because the treatment helps men achieve a fuller and firmer erection.
The effects of the P-Shot can last for up to 18 months. However, the duration of the effects can vary from patient to patient depending on factors such as age, overall health, and lifestyle choices.
Some patients report increased feeling within 24 hours of having the procedure, but the majority of men can expect to start seeing results within 4-8 weeks after treatment.
