Erectile dysfunction (ED) can have a profound impact on a man’s confidence, relationships, and overall quality of life. While medications like Viagra and Cialis offer temporary relief, they don’t treat the underlying causes of ED. That’s where PRP therapy, commonly referred to as the P-Shot®, comes in—a revolutionary, drug-free treatment that helps men achieve natural, long-lasting improvement in erectile function.
In this guide, we’ll explain what PRP therapy is, how the P-Shot works, what to expect during treatment, and who it’s best for.
🔬 What Is PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is derived from your own blood and contains a high concentration of growth factors that promote healing and tissue regeneration.
PRP has been widely used in:
- Orthopedic medicine (for tendon injuries and arthritis)
- Hair restoration
- Skin rejuvenation
In recent years, PRP has also emerged as an effective, natural treatment for ED by improving blood flow, regenerating penile tissue, and enhancing sensitivity.
💉 What Is the P-Shot®?
The P-Shot® (Priapus Shot®) is a specific PRP treatment for erectile dysfunction. It involves injecting platelet-rich plasma directly into targeted areas of the penis to:
- Improve blood flow
- Stimulate tissue repair and growth
- Enhance erection strength and stamina
- Increase sensitivity and sexual pleasure
The procedure was developed by Dr. Charles Runels and is performed only by trained providers who follow the official P-Shot® protocol.
⚙️ How the P-Shot Works: Step-by-Step
1. Blood Draw
A small amount of your blood (usually 10–20 ml) is drawn, just like a routine blood test.
2. Centrifugation
The blood is placed in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma, which contains 5–10 times more growth factors than normal blood.
3. Topical Numbing
A numbing cream is applied to the penis to ensure the procedure is painless.
4. Injection
The PRP is carefully injected into specific areas of the penis, typically around the corpus cavernosum (erectile tissue), using a tiny needle.
5. Post-Treatment Protocol
Some providers recommend using a penis pump daily for a few weeks post-treatment to maximize results by encouraging tissue expansion and blood flow.
🧬 What Does PRP Do Inside the Penis?
PRP contains growth factors such as VEGF, PDGF, EGF, and TGF-β, which:
- Promote angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels)
- Regenerate smooth muscle and endothelial cells
- Improve nerve sensitivity
- Repair microvascular damage
- Enhance collagen and elastin production in penile tissue
These effects restore natural erectile function, rather than just inducing a temporary erection.
📈 When Will I See Results?
| Timeframe | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| 1–2 weeks | Improved sensitivity, early blood flow response |
| 3–4 weeks | Noticeable improvement in erection quality |
| 6–12 weeks | Peak effects, including stronger, longer-lasting erections |
| 3–6 months | Results often maintained; some patients choose repeat injections for continued benefit |
💡 Most men notice improvement within a few weeks, and full results can last up to 12–18 months.
🎯 Who Is a Good Candidate for the P-Shot?
PRP injections may be right for you if you:
- Have mild to moderate ED (especially vascular-related)
- Want a natural, drug-free solution
- Experience reduced sensitivity or erection firmness
- Cannot take PDE5 inhibitors (e.g., Viagra) due to side effects or health concerns
- Want to enhance sexual performance and overall penile health
⚠️ The P-Shot may be less effective in cases of severe ED caused by nerve damage or advanced diabetes.
📊 How Effective Is the P-Shot?
Multiple studies and clinical experiences suggest:
- 70–80% of men report improvement in erection quality and function
- Some men also notice increased length and girth, particularly when combined with pumping therapy
- Enhanced orgasmic sensation and satisfaction
While individual results vary, many patients reduce or eliminate their reliance on ED medications after treatment.
💡 Benefits of the P-Shot
✅ Drug-free and non-surgical
✅ Uses your body’s natural healing ability
✅ Minimal downtime (back to normal activities the same day)
✅ Improves blood flow and sensitivity
✅ Long-lasting effects (up to 18 months)
✅ Can be repeated safely
🛡️ Risks and Side Effects
Since PRP is derived from your own blood, it’s extremely safe with minimal side effects. Possible (but rare) side effects include:
- Mild soreness or bruising at the injection site
- Temporary swelling
- Minor bleeding
Most men experience no complications and return to sexual activity within 24–48 hours.
🕒 How Often Can You Get the P-Shot?
While one treatment can yield significant benefits, some men choose to get:
- A second treatment after 6–12 months
- A series of two treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart for more severe ED or performance enhancement
A maintenance plan can be tailored by your provider based on your response and goals.
🧠 P-Shot vs. Other ED Treatments
| Treatment | Treats Root Cause | Drug-Free | Long-Term Results | Immediate Effects |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| P-Shot | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes | ❌ No |
| Viagra/Cialis | ❌ No | ❌ No | ❌ No | ✅ Yes |
| Shockwave Therapy | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes | ❌ Gradual |
| Penile Implant | ✅ Yes | ❌ No | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes (after recovery) |
✅ Final Thoughts
The P-Shot is an innovative, safe, and effective option for men seeking a natural solution to ED. Unlike medications that treat symptoms temporarily, PRP therapy restores function at a cellular level, offering long-term improvement in blood flow, sensitivity, and performance.
Whether you’re dealing with ED or simply want to enhance your sexual vitality, the P-Shot could help you regain confidence and control in the bedroom.
