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
• 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.

What does the P-Shot do?

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. It can be painful, and it may make sexual intercourse for you or your partner difficult or impossible.

• Lichen sclerosus. Lichen sclerosus can cause itching, irritation, white or shiny skin, blisters, cracks or scarring on your penis.

Some claims also allege that the P-Shot can help increase sensation and pleasure during sexual intercourse, including greater ejaculation control.

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.

Your penis and the surrounding areas are sensitive. Numbing cream or injections should help reduce P-Shot pain during the procedure. But you may feel some pressure or discomfort as you receive the P-Shot that increases as the numbing agent wears off.

You should be able to return to your normal activities quickly after a P-Shot.
