PRP: The Science Behind the Priapus Shot

The priapus shot, also known as the P-shot, can help men who have erectile dysfunction. It provides an alternative treatment option that is non-surgical and does not require loads of excessive supplements or medications. 

What is the Priapus shot?

The Priapus shot is a non-surgical treatment option for erectile dysfunction. The procedure involves harvesting the plasma enriched growth factors, then injecting them into certain areas of the penis. 

How does the procedure go?

The procedure begins with a local numbing agent that is applied to the penis. The doctor will then draw blood from your arm. The blood will be spun down in a centrifuge to separate the platelets and growth factors from the rest of the blood. 

This leaves behind the platelet-rich plasma, also known as PRP, which is then injected into the head and the shaft of the penis. There are usually four or five injections done in a single session. The growth factors in the plasma then kick the tissue renewal process into motion, which helps to promote firm and reliable results usually noted in younger years. 

Some men notice the full results after two to three months, but most see almost immediate results. There is no recovery time after this procedure, and patients can go home within an hour or less.

Who can the P-shot help?

The P-shot is an experimental treatment due to its newness on the scene and lack of extensive clinical studies. It has been used as an alternative treatment option for men who suffer from varying conditions, including:

• Erectile dysfunction, also known as ED: This is a condition where men cannot achieve or maintain an erection.
• Lichen sclerosis
• Penile enhancement

Benefits

The benefits of the P-shot in men’s health claim to be extensive, providing men with benefits such as:

• Erectile dysfunction treatment
• Improved blood flow and nerve sensation
• Works in tandem with testosterone therapy
• Increased stamina during sex
• Boosts sexual function following procedures such as prostate surgery

It is important to note that there is very little research done to back up these claims. 

Side effects

As with most procedures, patients may experience some side effects following the procedure. With the P-shot process, this may include:

• Swelling
• Redness 
• Bruising

Complications, although very rare, may include:

• Infections
• Scarring
• Development of cold sores, especially in cases where there is a history of herpes simplex virus

How much does this procedure cost?

Only a few doctors offer this procedure as a treatment for combatting issues like erectile dysfunction. Since it is exclusive to specific few clinics, it is by no means inexpensive. 

On average, the PRP procedure itself costs around $700. This does not include other costs associated with the procedure, such as appointment fees, preparation for the process, instruments needed, or care at the facility. Some facilities offer the procedure for upwards of $1,900, but it varies based on the clinic.
