What is PRP Therapy?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapies are growing increasingly popular across all areas of health and wellness. Part of the appeal of these therapies is that they utilize the patient’s own blood cells to help accelerate healing in a specific area of the body. The site being healed is targeted through the injection location.
By using your own blood, PRP therapies are safe to use and can even be used alongside other procedures with no fear of associated complications.
Platelet-rich plasma consists of two elements, plasma, which is the liquid portion of your blood, and platelets, a blood cell that plays an essential role in healing. While platelets are most commonly known for their clotting abilities, they also contain growth factors that can trigger cell reproduction and tissue regeneration, which leads to healing in the treated area.
Platelet-rich plasma is simply blood that contains a higher concentration of platelets than normal.
It is collected by extracting a sample of blood from the patient and then spinning it in a centrifuge, which is a machine that spins the blood at high speed to extract the platelets.
What Does a P-Shot Do?
By injecting PRP into the penis, the penile tissues are encouraged to grow, which may give you better erections.
The P-Shot offers many benefits to the body such as:
- increases blood flow
- creates new neural pathways
- repairs responses in some tissues or cells
On the day of your procedure, you will receive a topical numbing cream on the penis before a small blood sample is drawn. This sample will then be spun in a centrifuge to create the platelet-rich plasma and turned into a serum before being injected back into the penis. Most men find that after their procedure, they are able to continue with their day with no downtime.
What Conditions Can a P-Shot Help With?
Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
Those with erectile dysfunction have difficulty getting and maintaining an erection that is firm enough for sex. While it isn’t unusual to have erection issues from time to time, consistent issues might be a sign of an underlying health condition. In addition, frequent erectile dysfunction can affect your self-confidence, cause stress, and lead to relationship problems.There could be many causes of erectile dysfunction, and not all of them can be remedied with a P-shot. For example, hypogonadism, or low testosterone, is one cause of ED that cannot be fixed with a P-shot.
However, a P-shot has shown results such as a stronger and harder erection and an erection that lasts longer due to its ability to stimulate penile tissue and improve blood flow. So, depending on the cause of your ED, a P-shot may be a beneficial solution.
Lichen Sclerosis
Lichen sclerosis has no known causes, but it causes white patches on the skin and scarring on and around the penis. The P-shot is able to stimulate the cells and tissue of the penis to produce new cells, getting rid of the white patches and scarring.
Peyronie’s Disease
Peyronie’s disease is a condition that causes fibrous scar tissue to build upon the penis, causing curved and painful erections. PRP therapy’s ability to heal scarring is especially beneficial in the case of Peyronie’s disease. Many people have noticed P-shot therapy to result in dramatic improvements in the shape and functionality of their penis.Penis Enhancement
For those who would like to improve the size of their penis, specifically when erect, the P-shot may help with that. The P-shot improves blood flow to the penis, resulting in harder and stronger erections. In addition, some individuals notice that the P-shot increases the girth of their penis.General Sexual Function, Performance, and Orgasm Enhancement
For those who have no underlying conditions but would still like to improve their sexual performance, the P-shot can improve erection firmness, length, and size. In addition, if someone struggles to orgasm or would like a more intense orgasm, the P-shot can enhance the sensitivity of the penis, allowing for more enjoyable orgasms.
