Male Sexual Dysfunction

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.
