The P-Shot® in Utah
A quick, in-office procedure that uses platelet-rich plasma from your own blood to support erectile function and sensitivity.
What Is the P-Shot®?
The P-Shot®, also called the Priapus Shot®, is a procedure for men that uses the growth factors in your own blood to support the health of penile tissue.
We draw a small amount of your blood and spin it in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets. After numbing, this platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is placed with a few small injections.
Platelets carry growth factors that play a role in the body's natural repair, including the health of blood vessels. Because the plasma comes from your own body, there is no foreign material involved.
What the P-Shot® May Help With
Research on PRP for erectile function is still growing, and results vary. We will talk with you honestly about what to expect.
What to Expect
The visit is short, and most men return to normal activities the same day.
Erections Are a Window Into Your Health
Erectile changes can be an early sign of blood vessel, blood sugar, or hormone problems. We look at the whole picture.
Depending on what we find, we may also recommend testosterone and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, SoftWave for sexual health, or support for blood sugar and circulation. Learn more about andropause and how we approach sexual dysfunction.
P-Shot® Questions
We use numbing to keep you comfortable. Most men feel pressure or a brief pinch, with mild soreness or bruising afterward.
It works differently. Pills help blood flow for a few hours. The P-Shot® is designed to support the tissue itself. Some men use both, and we will talk with you about what fits.
Changes, if they come, tend to build over several weeks. Results vary.
Platelet-rich plasma is prepared from your own blood, and its use for erectile function is considered off-label. Research is still growing, and results vary. We will talk with you honestly about whether it is right for you.
