When it comes to PRP therapy, this is one of the most frequently asked questions. In this blog, we will explore the o-shot, and how it could benefit your patients.
The o shot, otherwise known as the Orgasm Shot, is a non-surgical procedure used to boost sexual desire and revitalise the vaginal area. Following the procedure, patients are said to benefit from stronger and more frequent orgasms, improved lubrication, and higher levels of excitement during intercourse.
The injection uses Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), derived from a patient’s own blood, including cell-regenerating growth factors. When injected into specific parts of the vagina, PRP treatment causes stem cells to boost blood flow, promote healthy tissue growth, and improve the area’s vascularization.
During a PRP treatment, a blood sample is taken from the patient’s arm and spun in a special medical device inside a centrifuge. The high-frequency spinning separates the blood from its key constituents which form platelet-rich plasma. This plasma is then injected directly into a numbed area near the clitoris and upper vagina.
What can the o shot treat?
PRP for the genital area can be used to treat a variety of indications, including:
- Urinary incontinence due to stress
- Dryness of the vaginal canal
- Sexual dysfunction/painful sex
- Inability to achieve orgasm
- Chronic vaginal pain
- Pain or weakness in the pelvic floor
Does it work?
Yes! Patients who have had the procedure notice positive benefits including heightened sensations, orgasms from penetrative sex, and significantly reduced Urinary incontinence.
In most cases, the procedure isn’t considered to be painful, but to ease any discomfort patients are typically given a mild numbing cream. Following the injections, it is normal for patients to experience a slight pinch or warm sensation from the needle. Treatment takes around 30 minutes to complete, and there is no associated downtime.
Some patients experience a boost in sexual desire and pleasure almost immediately following the injection, however, full results take around three months to manifest.
