If you're considering the P-Shot (Priapus Shot) to improve your sexual health and performance, you're likely wondering how often you need to get it for the best results. The short answer? While many men experience noticeable benefits from just one treatment, maintaining optimal results often requires a customized treatment schedule based on your unique needs and goals.
At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we specialize in helping you look and feel your best from the inside out. Whether you're dealing with erectile dysfunction, reduced sensitivity, or just want to boost performance naturally, our team is here to guide you. In this article, we break down how often you should get the P-Shot and offer expert tips to help you maximize its benefits.
How often should you do the P-Shot?
The frequency of P-Shot treatments varies depending on individual factors, including age, sexual health goals, and underlying medical conditions. However, most men achieve optimal benefits by following an initial treatment plan with periodic maintenance sessions.
For first-time patients, a single P-Shot may be enough to jumpstart improvements in blood flow. These results peak around 3 to 12 weeks after the injection. However, for those with moderate to severe erectile dysfunction or more significant performance concerns, a series of two treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart may be recommended for the best initial boost.
To maintain the results, an annual or biannual booster is often ideal. Many men return for follow-up injections every 12 to 18 months, depending on how their body responds. Some patients, especially those combining the P-Shot with GAINSWave or testosterone replacement, may benefit from even more extended intervals between treatments.
At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, your treatment plan is tailored to your specific needs, based on a comprehensive consultation and your individual goals. We’ll monitor your progress and adjust your treatment frequency to ensure consistent and long-lasting results.
Tips to optimize the results of the P-Shot
Follow all pre- and post-treatment instructions
Your body’s healing and regenerative response plays a major role in the success of the P-Shot. Be sure to follow all pre-procedure and aftercare instructions provided by your Genesis Lifestyle Medicine provider. This may include avoiding certain medications, alcohol, or sexual activity for a short period. Following guidelines helps ensure that platelet-rich plasma (PRP) activates properly and delivers maximum regenerative benefits.
Consider combining it with GAINSWave therapy
GAINSWave is a non-invasive acoustic wave therapy that enhances blood flow and nerve sensitivity in the penis. When used with the P-Shot, it can amplify results, especially in men with vascular issues or long-standing ED. Many patients find that pairing both therapies helps them achieve firmer, longer-lasting erections and more natural sexual function.
Maintain a healthy lifestyle
While the P-Shot can enhance sexual performance, your overall health plays a huge role in its effectiveness. Engage in regular cardiovascular exercise, follow a nutritious diet, limit alcohol, and quit smoking if applicable. These habits enhance circulation, hormone balance, and overall well-being, all of which support improved sexual function and more lasting P-Shot results.
Manage stress and mental health
Sexual performance is not only physical; your mental and emotional state also matters. High stress, anxiety, or depression can interfere with libido and erectile function. Practices like meditation, therapy, or stress management can enhance the effects of your P-Shot by supporting a healthy mind-body connection.
Use a penile pump as directed
At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we may recommend using a vacuum erection device (penile pump) for a few minutes daily following your P-Shot treatment. This practice improves blood flow, promotes healing, and helps stretch the penile tissues to support gains in length, girth, and function. Used correctly, this can significantly enhance and prolong your results.
Stay consistent with follow-up visits
Your sexual health is dynamic and can change over time. Regular follow-up visits enable your provider to assess your progress, discuss any changes, and determine if a maintenance P-Shot is necessary. Staying on top of these check-ins ensures that your treatment remains as effective as possible and that you don’t lose the gains you’ve made.
Address underlying medical conditions
If you have conditions like diabetes, hypertension, or low testosterone, they can impact how well your body responds to the P-Shot. At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we provide comprehensive care, including hormone therapy and metabolic health support. By treating root causes, we enhance the effectiveness of the P-Shot and help you maintain better sexual health.
Initiate your path to renewed sexual vitality
The P-Shot offers an exciting, non-surgical solution for men seeking better sexual performance, stronger erections, and enhanced confidence. While many men benefit from a single session, the best results are often seen with a tailored treatment plan that includes periodic maintenance injections every 12 to 18 months. Your provider at Genesis Lifestyle Medicine will help you determine the ideal schedule based on your individual response and goals.
To make the most of your treatment, follow expert aftercare and consider combining the P-Shot with complementary therapies like GAINSWave or TRT. Please schedule a consultation for your first P-Shot session and initiate your path to renewed sexual vitality.
