Sexual dysfunction affects half of
adult males over the age of 40. Short term and transient performance
problems will affect almost every man, but when the issue does not fade
away on its own, physical and psychological issues that affect the
quality of life may arise. Medication for erectile dysfunction can, in
some cases, offer short term relief, but many men want a long term
solution to their problem. This is where the Priapus Shot, or P Shot as
it is commonly referred to, provides a solution.
What Is The P Shot?
The
P Shot uses a Platelet Rich Fibrin Matrix (PRFM), which is drawn from
the patient’s own body to improve sexual performance. The process begins
with drawing blood, typically from the arm, in a manner similar to a
blood test. A special technique is used to drawplatelet rich plasma from
the blood. A fine needle is used to inject the PRFM into the penis. A
topical numbing agent is first applied to reduce any pain or discomfort
felt from the injection. The total procedure typically takes under 30
minutes and patients can return home, once the procedure is completed.
How It Works and What It Does
The
PRFM releases growth factors that cause unipotent stem cells to
rejuvenate and grow new tissue. Since the procedure uses the patient’s
own blood enriched plasma, it is non-allergenic and free of harmful side
effects. The benefits of the P Shot include:
- Increased firmness of erection.
- Increased penile length and girth.
- Increased blood flow and circulation, resulting in improved sexual abilities and enhanced stamina.
- Increased pleasure and sensation.
- Improved appearance.
Some
of these effects become apparent almost immediately after the
injection, while others will appear a bit later. The nature and extent
of the improvements in penis size and sexual performance will vary from
patient to patient. Your doctor will be able to provide you with
detailed information on the procedure and the results you can expect.
Who Can Benefit From This Treatment?
The
P Shot is designed to offer men a lasting increase in their sexual
abilities. In particular, it will benefit those whose sexual abilities
have decreased due to hardening of the arteries, diabetes, prostate
issues, the after effects of surgery and many other conditions. Your
doctor, after a consultation and examination, will inform you, if you
are a good candidate for the procedure.
