The O-shot – short for ‘Orgasm shot’ – is a minimally invasive medical procedure that is designed to restore sexual health when a woman has noticed a loss of desire or is undergoing menopause. It is a relatively new procedure that effectively boosts sexual feelings and desires and improves sexual performance. Poor sex drive and a lack of libido can be damaging to a relationship. A lack of sexual desire can also lead to a lack of confidence, depression, and a less enjoyable relationship.
While the O Shot is for women, there is a male equivalent called the ‘P-shot’ which is used for rejuvenating sexual health and performance in men. Both procedures use a clever method known as PRP to achieve their aims.
PRP is the abbreviation for ‘Platelet-rich Plasma.’ It is all about the components that make up your blood. PRP involves drawing a blood sample, a simple procedure you have probably undergone many times. The blood is then put in a centrifuge and spun at a certain speed for a set time. This has the effect of separating the blood cells from the platelets.
Platelets are the part of the blood that encourage cell growth and regulate blood flow. What happens next is your vaginal area will be numbed with an anesthetic cream. The platelet-rich plasma – PRP – which has been extracted and harvested from your blood is then injected back into your vaginal area. Platelets encourage cell growth, and now you have more platelets in the blood in that area than before. The result is that cell growth is exaggerated, and the ultimate result is that the vagina is rejuvenated, tightened, and the healthy blood flow restored.
Patients report better sexual enjoyment as well as restored sex drive, plus greater feeling when enjoying sex. Good sex is very much intrinsic to a good relationship. Sec is a bonding experience, hence the O-shot – and the male P-shot equivalent – can extend the sex life of a couple beyond menopause when it is naturally reduced.
The ideal candidate for the O-shot will be a woman experiencing any or some of the following:
. Loss of libido and no interest in sex
. Inability to achieve orgasm
. Lack of arousal
. Urinary incontinence
. Pain during intercourse
. Vaginal dryness
. Women undergoing menopause
Be aware that if you are experiencing any of the above issues you should make an appointment with a doctor right away. Many of the symptoms listed can also be indicative of other conditions, some of which may be dangerous to one’s health. You need a correct diagnosis before undergoing treatment.
An initial consult with a provider will include a detailed discussion of your health, any past procedures you have undertaken, your lifestyle, and your family history. Be prepared for some personal questions about your sex life, as this will be important to the consultant.
The medical professional performing the O-shot will be a fully trained and qualified individual who will make you as comfortable as possible. The first step is to draw a sample of your blood and then perform the separation as described. Numbing cream will be applied to the vagina and the PRP injected into the areas to be treated. Most patients report feeling a sense of pressure in the vaginal area as this takes place, but nothing more. As the O-shot is a non-invasive procedure, you will perhaps feel soreness in the area where the injections have been made for a day or so. The entire procedure can be performed in around one hour.
Effects can be immediate and will improve as the growth elements come to life in a couple of weeks. The effects usually last around 12 months after which you can undergo treatment again. There is no downtime involved in the O-shot procedure.
The major benefit of using PRP is that the patient’s blood is the only component. Therefore, there is no risk of contamination. The only side-effects are possible soreness as mentioned above. It is a safe and tested procedure, and you can even go back to work the same day if you wish.
