What is a P-Shot?
A Priapus Shot® (P-Shot®) is an experimental type of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection for treating conditions that affect your penis and increasing sexual performance.
In other parts of the body, healthcare providers typically use PRP injections to help treat injured muscles, joints, tendons, and ligaments. In those instances, providers use a needle to remove blood from a vein (usually an arm) and separate the platelets from the rest of your blood. Platelets help your blood clot and heal wounds. They then inject your own platelets into the damaged area of your body to promote healing. During a P-Shot, providers inject the platelet-rich plasma directly into your penis.
Important Note: There are many claims about the benefits of P-Shots for penile-related conditions, including erections. However, these reports aren't from healthcare providers or medical researchers. Clinical trials don't show that the P-Shot improves erections, and it's expensive. But there aren't many side effects to the P-Shot.
What does the P-Shot do?
So far, there isn't any good evidence that the P-Shot helps treat penile-related conditions. Some claim that the P-Shot helps increase blood flow to your penis and repairs body tissues and cells, which can help with the following conditions:
Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
ED is when you can't get or keep an erection that's hard enough for sexual intercourse. There's good scientific evidence that shows the P-Shot can't treat ED.
Peyronie's Disease
Peyronie's disease is when scar tissue builds up in your penis (usually after an injury to your erect penis) and causes it to bend or curve. There's currently no good scientific evidence about using the P-Shot with Peyronie's disease.
Lichen Sclerosus
Lichen sclerosus can cause itching, irritation, white or shiny skin, blisters, cracks or scarring on your penis. There currently isn't any good scientific evidence about using the P-Shot with lichen sclerosus.
Does the P-Shot increase penis size?
Some claim that the P-Shot can increase penis length and girth by design. They may inject more platelet-rich plasma into the base penis, shaft or head (glans) of your penis according to where you would like to see results. This claim isn't supported by any scientific evidence.
Who is a good candidate for the P-Shot?
Important Consideration: Overall, even though PRP is helpful in other parts of the body, research hasn't shown that the P-Shot is beneficial for penile-related symptoms. Be aware that the procedure is expensive, and you may not get the results you desire. If you still choose to get a P-Shot, it's important to feel comfortable with the possibility that it may not work.
Treatment Details
What happens during P-Shot treatment?
You don't need to do any preparation before receiving a P-Shot. But you may want to wear comfortable clothes that you can easily pull down or remove, such as athletic shorts or sweatpants. The P-Shot is an experimental procedure, so there's no standard process. But in general, the provider will:
Blood Sample
Take a blood sample from a vein and process it in a centrifuge to separate PRP
Numbing
Apply numbing cream or inject numbing agent to help with pain
PRP Injection
Inject the PRP into different areas of your penis
How effective is the P-Shot?
Effectiveness Warning: There isn't enough research to accurately determine the P-Shot's effectiveness. Some people may see results within a few days. It may take others several months or multiple P-Shots to see results, or they might not see any changes at all. Talk to a healthcare provider. They can help you determine if the P-Shot is right for you.
What are the risks or complications of the P-Shot?
The P-Shot is a relatively safe procedure. Minor risks may include:
Bruising
Common side effect at injection sites
Discoloration
Red, purple or dark brown skin changes
Swelling
Temporary swelling of the penis
Infection
Risk of infection at injection sites
