Platelet-Rich-Plasma Penile Shots (P-Shot)

What is the Platelet-Rich-Plasma Penile Shot (P-Shot)?

Platelets are the part of your blood that allows cuts to heal, and they are known to promote tissue regrowth and repair. By taking samples of the patient’s own blood and separating out the platelets, our doctors create a highly concentrated injection of these reparative proteins that can be administered by injection into the penile erectile tissue, infusing the tissue with platelets and causing a totally natural spurt of regrowth and regeneration.

How does the P-Shot work? 

In the particular case of penile injection, platelets are used to repair the erectile tissue and counteract damage to the spongy tissue that is responsible for erections, allowing them to engorge more fully and retain blood for a longer and more satisfying erection. This is preferable to other procedures, such as more common surgical procedures, because it is minimally invasive with a brief treatment course.

Is the P-Shot safe? 

Because the platelets are taken from the same person into which they are to be injected, there is practically zero chance of rejection, and because there are no added medications, the chance for adverse side effects is minimized.

Takeaways

Platelet-Rich-Plasma penile shots are considered a promising new solution for sexual dysfunction, with all the benefits of a completely natural process and a procedure that is minimally invasive, requiring only the use of a needle. The medical community has high hopes for this treatment to become a mainstream answer to erectile dysfunction.
