P-Shot Treatment at SageMED
The P-Shot® (Priapus Shot®) offers a natural, non-invasive solution using your body's own healing properties. Learn what it is and how it can transform your sexual health with SageMED.
What is a P-Shot?
A Priapus Shot® (P-Shot®) is an innovative type of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection designed to treat conditions affecting the penis and enhance sexual performance. Often referred to as the P-Shot®, this procedure involves injecting your own concentrated platelets directly into the penis to promote healing and improve erectile function.
At SageMED, we differentiate ourselves by exclusively using the Emcyte Super-Concentrated PRP system. This proprietary closed sterile technology achieves a 10-12 times higher platelet concentration compared to standard gel tube systems used by most providers, significantly enhancing the efficacy of our PRP treatments.
How the P-Shot Works
A significant number of men face challenges in attaining and sustaining erections, frequently accompanied by reduced sensitivity and diminished sexual fulfillment. The P-Shot® offers a natural solution without the need for medication. Using Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), the P-Shot® works by:
Improving Erection Quality and Duration: PRP enhances blood flow to the penis, resulting in stronger and longer-lasting erections.
Enhancing Penile Sensitivity: Increased sensitivity contributes to a more satisfying sexual experience.
Potentially Increasing Erection Size: Some men may experience an increase in erection size, although scientific evidence is limited.
This procedure leverages your body's natural healing abilities to address erectile dysfunction effectively, providing you with enhanced sexual performance and confidence.
What does the P-Shot do?
While some claim that the P-Shot® can increase blood flow to the penis and repair tissues, leading to improvements in conditions such as:
Erectile Dysfunction (ED): Inability to attain or sustain an erection for sexual activity.
Peyronie’s Disease: Scar tissue causing curvature of the penis.
Lichen Sclerosus: Skin condition affecting the penis.
It's important to note that current clinical trials do not provide substantial evidence supporting these benefits. Additionally, the procedure can be costly, and results may vary. However, there are minimal side effects associated with the P-Shot®, typically limited to temporary swelling or discomfort at the injection site. At SageMED, we ensure that each P-Shot® is tailored to your unique needs, maximizing potential benefits while maintaining safety.
What Happens During P-Shot® Treatment at SageMED?
Blood Collection: A blood sample is drawn from a vein, typically in the arm.
PRP Extraction: Using the Emcyte Super-Concentrated PRP system, your blood is spun in a centrifuge to isolate and concentrate the platelets, achieving a 10-12x concentration.
Numbing: A numbing cream or agent is applied to minimize discomfort.
Injection: The concentrated PRP is injected into targeted areas of the penis.
By utilizing your own blood plasma, the P-Shot® ensures higher compatibility and effectiveness, as your body naturally integrates and benefits from its components without the introduction of external substances. This outpatient procedure takes approximately 30 minutes, allowing you to return to your daily activities with minimal downtime.
How Long Does a P-Shot Treatment Take?
At SageMED, our practitioners utilize advanced Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapies to tailor treatments for maximum efficacy. Our BioTE® pellets are manufactured to ensure consistent potency and purity, providing reliable and effective hormone delivery.
How Long Will I Need a P-Shot?
At SageMED, our naturopathic physicians provide a holistic approach to prolotherapy, ensuring each patient receives personalized and comprehensive care throughout their treatment journey.
During your initial consultation at SageMED, our experts will:
Evaluate Medical History: Review your medical history, including any allergies, bleeding disorders, current infections, or previous experiences with procedures.
Discuss Medications: Assess your current medications and advise on necessary adjustments. You may need to discontinue NSAIDs (e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen) at least 7 days before treatment to minimize bleeding risks. Always consult your physician before stopping any medications.
Personalized Preparation: Based on your health profile, our healthcare providers may recommend specific preparations to enhance the safety and effectiveness of your prolotherapy treatment.
Follow-Up Care: Schedule follow-up appointments to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
Is the P-Shot Safe?
At SageMED, we dedicate ourselves to providing advanced prolotherapy treatments tailored to your specific needs. Our team of naturopathic physicians utilizes the latest techniques in prolotherapy to ensure optimal healing and pain relief.
By combining prolotherapy with personalized physical therapy, we support your path to long-term connective tissue health.
Who is a Good Candidate for the P-Shot?
The P-Shot® is suitable for men who:
Experience erectile dysfunction (ED)
Have Peyronie’s disease
Notice reduced sensitivity during intercourse
Want to improve sexual stamina
Are interested in potentially increasing penis size
Before deciding on the P-Shot®, it's important to consult with a healthcare provider at SageMED to ensure it is the right treatment for your needs. Additionally, understanding that the P-Shot® is an experimental procedure can help set realistic expectations.
What to Expect
-
During your consultation at SageMED, a specialist will review your symptoms and medical history to ensure you are a candidate for P-Shot® treatment. They might also conduct a blood test to check your testosterone levels.
Upon determining your eligibility for the P-Shot® treatment, we will arrange a follow-up appointment specifically for the injection procedure
-
A minimal blood sample is drawn from your arm and processed in a centrifuge, which effectively separates nearly all red blood cells from the platelets. Having more PRP enhances its power to heal and renew your body’s tissues.
After the centrifugation process, a numbing agent is applied to your penis to ensure comfort, followed by the precise injection of PRP into targeted areas.
-
Post P-Shot® treatment, downtime is typically minimal. We recommend incorporating a Vacuum Erection Device (VED), commonly referred to as a penis pump, into your routine. Usage involves operating the VED twice daily for several minutes over a span of two weeks.
This method helps more blood flow to the penis, which makes the P-Shot® injections more effective. Sexual activity can generally be resumed on the same day or within 24 hours following the procedure.
How Long Do P-Shot Effects Last?
The longevity of P-Shot® results can differ among individuals, with many men enjoying benefits that last from several months up to a year. Typically, noticeable improvements may begin within a few weeks following the initial injection.
The required number of treatments and their timing depend on your overall health and specific factors influencing your sexual performance. At SageMED, we design customized treatment plans to help you sustain the best possible outcome.
