What Is the P shot?

Did you know that more than 50% of men over the age of 50 struggle with sexual health concerns like erectile dysfunction and a low sex drive? The older you get, the more likely you will run into problems. Luckily, there is a simple and effective solution. At Revive MD Center in Glen Allen, VA, we provide the P shot to male patients who would like to improve their sexual wellness.

The Priapus shot is a minimally invasive treatment, so there is no need for you to stay overnight at a hospital or spend several weeks recovering from your treatment. Instead, you will spend under one hour at the clinic and then enjoy the results of your session for up to one year. Read on to find out more about the most common sexual health issues men face and how the Priapus shot can address them.  

What Is the P Shot?

The mechanism used during the Priapus shot is similar to that of the O shot and several other treatments we offer at the clinic. The active ingredient, PRP, comes from your own body and is therefore both safe and effective. Since there is very little risk associated with the method, you won’t have to spend a lot of time preparing for or recovering from the session.

Each appointment at the clinic will take less than 60 minutes, and you can leave straight away. If you take good care of your body, you can benefit from the results for up to one year.

How Does the Sexual Wellness Shot Work?

Regenerative treatments are one of the most exciting new developments in medicine. The underlying belief is that the patient’s body has all the tools to heal itself, and the doctor’s job is simply to deliver the right components to the right treatment areas. This is how the Priapus shot works. Your own blood is drawn, and a substance called platelet-rich plasma is extracted, then injected into your erectile tissue.

Platelets are small blood cells that release growth factors and thereby encourage your body to create new cells. This mechanism is especially important when you are healing from an injury, but it can be harnessed to rejuvenate the body. In addition to improving your sexual health, this type of treatment can restore your hair, get rid of wrinkles, and remove acne or chickenpox scars from the face.

Preparing for Treatment

As mentioned, you don’t have to spend a lot of time getting ready for your appointment. During your in-person consultation, we will discuss your individual situation, and your provider can tell you whether you need to make any changes.

If you currently smoke or drink a lot of alcohol, you should improve your lifestyle several weeks before your treatment begins. Similarly, you will need to pause blood-thinning medications and supplements, which can slow down wound healing and cause complications.

The Session

At your clinic, your blood will be drawn and processed in a specialized machine. When the platelet-rich plasma has been extracted, we can begin the injections. Most men don’t feel any pain during their P shot appointment because we use a numbing cream before we begin. In some cases, we also inject a local anesthetic to further reduce the sensation. The session will last about 30-60 minutes, and you can leave straight away.

Recovery and Results

After your sexual wellness shot, you can go back to work and your regular activities. Most men don’t spend any time resting, and they can resume sexual intercourse within 24-48 hours. To make sure you achieve optimal results and don’t experience any issues, you should avoid activities that heat up your body, including strenuous exercise, taking a very hot shower, and using a sauna or hot tub for around 24 hours after your appointment.

Some men, called early responders, experience an almost instant increase in penis size, and they may never struggle with erectile dysfunction again. However, most patients’ results appear more gradually, often over the course of several weeks or months. Around three months after your appointment, you will have achieved the final results. If you maintain a healthy lifestyle, you can prolong the effects of treatment, and you might only need one shot a year.

What Issues Does the Priapus Shot Address?

Now you understand how the men’s sexual rejuvenation shot works, you might be curious about the types of issues that can be addressed with this treatment. The most common concerns we see here at the clinic are problems achieving or maintaining erections and concerns about the length and girth of the penis. Occasionally, men come to see us due to a painful condition called Peyronie’s disease, which can also be addressed via the Priapus shot.

Erectile Dysfunction

As they grow older, the vast majority of men experience problems with their sexual performance. You might no longer be able to achieve an erection, or you might struggle to maintain it. Unfortunately, such issues can have a dramatic effect on a man’s sex life and affect the quality of his partnership.

Dysfunction can be triggered by emotional issues such as stress or anxiety, but it also has physical causes. If you don’t believe that a mental health condition is causing your ED, the Priapus shot could be the perfect solution. It allows your body to rejuvenate the erectile tissue, so you can once more achieve the erections you enjoyed in your youth.

Problems with the Penis’s Size

In the US, the average penis is just over five inches long, but some men have significantly smaller sexual organs. This can lead to low self-confidence, depression and anxiety, a lack of enjoyment of sex, and less satisfying relationships. If you’re worried about your size, you should speak to your local providers about treatment options. Most men can add 10-20% to both the length and the girth of their penis through the Priapus shot.

Peyronie’s Disease

Peyronie’s disease is a painful condition that causes scar tissue to build up in the penis. As a result, men develop a curvature that causes pain when they have an erection. While this issue is quite rare in young men, it happens in about 4% of patients aged 40 to 70. Anyone who is affected should consider the Priapus shot, which can significantly reduce or even eliminate the symptoms. By getting an injection once a year, you could finally enjoy pain-free sex.

Get Rid of ED and Increase Your Penis Size with a Priapus Shot

If you’re struggling with erectile dysfunction, doctors might have told you to take supplements or medicine to increase your chance of achieving and maintaining an erection. Unfortunately, many of the drugs currently available aren’t good for you in the long run. There is a healthier and safer alternative called the P shot, which involves injecting platelet-rich plasma, derived from your own body, in the penis.

At the treatment site, the platelets release growth factors and therefore encourage your body to create new and healthy cells. As a result, you’ll notice better sexual performance and increased length and girth. If you suffer from Peyronie’s disease, the sexual wellness shot can provide relief and straighten out the penis.
