You may be noticing changes you didn’t expect: difficulty getting or keeping an erection, reduced sensitivity, shorter stamina, or less satisfaction during intimacy. These shifts can affect your confidence, your relationship, and your sense of yourself in ways that feel bigger than the physical symptoms alone. The P-Shot is a groundbreaking regenerative treatment that harnesses your body’s own components to heal you from within and restore vitality.
At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we offer a discreet, science-backed approach to men’s sexual wellness that focuses on strengthening your body from the inside out. The P-Shot allows us to help you reclaim sexual vitality by activating your body’s innate healing processes as opposed to relying on external medications. In this guide, you’ll learn exactly what the P-Shot is, how it works, what you can expect, and whether it may be the right treatment for you.
What is the P-Shot?
The P-Shot, formally known as the Priapus Shot, is a regenerative treatment that aims to enhance erection quality, sexual performance, and overall penile function using your body’s own healing properties. Rather than relying on synthetic medications or invasive procedures, the P-Shot uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP) derived from a small sample of your blood.
This plasma contains growth factors, i.e., proteins your body naturally uses to repair tissue and improve blood flow. When concentrated and injected into specific areas of the penis, these growth factors can help rejuvenate the tissue responsible for erections and sensation.
Why PRP matters
Platelet-rich plasma is created by spinning your blood in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets. Platelets are rich in natural growth factors that support healing, tissue regeneration, and improved circulation. PRP has been widely used in orthopedics, sports medicine, and aesthetics, thanks to its ability to stimulate the body’s repair process without introducing foreign substances.
PRP’s regenerative power offers a natural alternative for improving erectile function by targeting the root cause: diminished blood flow, weakened tissue, or reduced nerve responsiveness.
How the P-Shot works
To perform the P-Shot, your provider begins by drawing a small amount of blood from your arm. After preparing the PRP, a numbing agent is applied to ensure your comfort. Then, using a tiny needle, the PRP is injected into precise anatomical points of the penis.
Once injected, the growth factors get to work:
- Stimulating new blood vessel development
- Supporting healthier, stronger erectile tissue
- Enhancing nerve sensitivity
- Improving overall tissue function
As these regenerative processes unfold, many men experience meaningful improvements in erection firmness, sexual stamina, sensation, and orgasms. Some also notice a reduction in premature ejaculation and improved response to ED medications like Viagra or Cialis.
What results you can expect
While every man’s healing timeline is unique, many notice early improvements within the first few days. More commonly, you’ll begin to see benefits gradually over several weeks as tissue regeneration progresses. The results typically peak between three and four months, when the newly revitalized tissue has fully developed.
On average, the benefits of the P-Shot last 12 to 18 months. Many men choose a yearly treatment to maintain optimal results, especially if they have moderate to severe ED or want ongoing support for performance and sensitivity.
What the P-Shot can help with
The P-Shot may benefit you if you’re experiencing:
- Difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection
- Reduced sensitivity or pleasure
- Shortened stamina or inconsistent performance
- Mild to moderate erectile dysfunction
- Penile tissue changes after prostate surgery
- Symptoms of urinary leakage or pelvic discomfort
- A desire for improved response to ED medications
- A general interest in enhancing sexual confidence and function naturally
Because the treatment uses your own plasma, it offers a safe option for men who want a regenerative approach rather than relying solely on pharmaceuticals.
What the procedure feels like
The idea of an injection in the penis can be scary. However, the procedure is fairly comfortable. A high-strength topical anesthetic is applied to numb the area before anything begins. Most men describe pressure and mild sensation as the PRP is injected, but not pain.
The full appointment takes about 60 minutes from start to finish, and you can typically resume sexual activity within four hours unless your provider advises otherwise.
Safety, side effects, and downtime
Because the P-Shot uses your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction or adverse response is extremely low. Side effects are minimal and may include swelling, light bruising, or temporary sensitivity at the injection points. These effects generally resolve quickly. There is no downtime required, and you can return to your regular activities immediately after the visit.
How many treatments you may need
Most men achieve their desired results with one or two P-Shot sessions. If you have more advanced or long-standing erectile dysfunction, your provider may also recommend additional treatments spaced a few months apart. Your treatment plan will be customized to your goals, your physiology, and how your body responds to PRP.
Are you a good candidate?
You may be a strong candidate for the P-Shot if you’re experiencing persistent erectile difficulties, decreased confidence during intimacy, or diminished sensation that affects your sexual experiences. The treatment is also suitable if you prefer a natural treatment, have not responded well to medication, or want to enhance the results of other ED therapies.
At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, you receive a comprehensive, patient-centered approach to sexual wellness that supports your confidence, relationships, and overall quality of life. If you’re ready to explore a natural, regenerative solution for stronger erections, improved pleasure, and greater performance, the P-Shot may be the next step toward feeling like yourself again.
