The P-Shot

The P-shot is an injection of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), prepared from your own blood, into penile tissue, offered for erectile function within a defined clinical protocol.

The P-shot follows a specific, standardised protocol for preparing and injecting PRP. It is performed by a doctor at 15 on Orange after numbing cream has taken full effect.

How it works 

A standard blood sample is drawn from your arm, exactly as at any lab visit. The sample is spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, the blood component involved in tissue repair and growth factor release.

After topical anaesthetic has had time to work, the platelet-rich plasma is injected into defined points in the penile tissue. The full appointment takes under an hour, and the injection itself only minutes.

Because the material comes from your own blood, allergic reaction risk is very low. The most common after-effects are mild bruising or tenderness for a day or two.

What the evidence says

PRP research in sexual medicine is at an early stage. A small number of controlled trials suggest possible short-term improvement in erection scores for mild to moderate ED, while reviews consistently call for larger and longer studies. Professional urology bodies regard penile PRP as investigational. We offer it on that basis, stated plainly, and your doctor will tell you if the evidence does not support it for your situation.

Who tends to be a candidate

Men with mild to moderate ED who understand the investigational status, and men seeking an alternative or addition to tablets after a proper work-up. Men on blood thinners, with active infections, or with untreated underlying causes are usually advised against it or asked to treat those first.

Questions about 

The P-Shot

Is the P-shot painful?

The area is numbed with topical anaesthetic cream before anything happens, and most men report pressure rather than pain during the injection. Mild bruising or tenderness for a day or two afterwards is common.

How is the P-shot different from penile PRP?

The P-shot is a branded, standardised protocol for penile PRP: a defined preparation method and injection pattern. Generic penile PRP allows the doctor to adapt preparation and placement to your anatomy and goals. Your doctor will recommend one or the other at the eligibility consult.

What results can I expect from the P-shot?

We cannot promise a specific result, and you should be wary of anyone who does. Early trials suggest possible short-term improvement in erection scores for some men with mild to moderate ED, and the research is still developing. That is the honest state of the evidence.

How soon after the P-shot can I have sex?

Most protocols allow sexual activity again within a few days, once any tenderness has settled. Your doctor gives you specific aftercare guidance on the day.

Conditions this may be considered for

Erectile dysfunction is persistent difficulty getting or keeping an erection firm enough for sex, and in most men it has an identifiable, treatable cause.

Low Libido / Low Desire

Low libido is a persistent drop in sexual desire, in men or women, with many possible causes ranging from hormones to medication to life circumstances, most of them addressable.
