Experience Enhanced Sexual Wellness with the P-Shot® at Polaris Rejuvenation
The P-Shot is a name used for a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection procedure discussed for men’s sexual health. At Polaris Rejuvenation in Columbus, a consultation with Dr. David Garcia helps you understand the procedure, its evidence, and established alternatives.
What happens during the procedure?
A blood sample is processed to prepare a platelet concentrate for injection. Ask about preparation, treatment site, comfort measures, risks, and aftercare. An injection procedure is not non-invasive or risk-free.
Is PRP a proven ED treatment?
The American Urological Association considers PRP for erectile dysfunction experimental. Do not assume it will restore erections, improve libido, correct curvature, or increase penile size. Ask how the approach relates to clinical research.
What should happen first?
An ED evaluation can consider cardiovascular health, diabetes, medications, hormones, and emotional factors. Discuss established treatments before deciding on a platelet-based procedure.
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF)
PRF and PRP are different platelet preparations made from a person’s blood. PRF includes a fibrin component, and preparation methods vary. Ask which preparation is being proposed and why.
Evidence for one preparation or treatment area does not automatically apply to another. The presence of growth factors does not establish increased penile size or treatment of prostate symptoms or urinary leakage.
Discuss discomfort, bruising, bleeding, infection, possible lack of benefit, and aftercare with your provider. Do not change prescribed ED treatment without medical advice.
