If you’ve heard of the P-Shot® in the context of enhancing sexual performance or treating erectile dysfunction, you may be surprised to learn it can also strengthen the pelvic floor. This innovative therapy, which utilizes your body’s platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to rejuvenate tissue, has shown promise in addressing a broader range of male health concerns, including those involving the muscles, nerves, and tissues that comprise the pelvic floor.

At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we’re proud to offer the P-Shot as part of a comprehensive approach to male sexual wellness and regenerative care. In this article, we’ll explore how the P-Shot can contribute to stronger pelvic floor function, why this matters for your overall health and quality of life, and what other unexpected benefits this treatment may offer.

How the P-Shot can strengthen the pelvic floor

The P-Shot involves injecting platelet-rich plasma (PRP), a concentrated solution derived from your blood, into specific areas of the penis. PRP is packed with growth factors that stimulate cellular repair, promote blood vessel formation, and enhance tissue regeneration. While the focus is often on sexual performance and sensitivity, these healing properties can also impact deeper anatomical structures, including the pelvic floor muscles.
Here’s how the P-Shot contributes to pelvic floor strength:

Promotes tissue regeneration in pelvic structures

The PRP used in the P-Shot stimulates collagen production, angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation), and nerve regeneration. While the injection is localized to the penis, the surrounding tissues, including the pelvic floor muscles and connective tissues may also benefit indirectly. This can help reverse age-related atrophy or damage that weakens the pelvic support system.

Improves neuromuscular signaling and control

The pelvic floor muscles rely on precise communication between the nerves and muscle fibers to function properly. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is known to support peripheral nerve healing and improve conduction, which may help strengthen neuromuscular control in the pelvic region. This can be especially valuable for men who struggle with urinary leakage or post-prostatectomy incontinence.

Increases blood flow to the perineal region

Poor circulation is a major factor in pelvic floor dysfunction. The P-Shot promotes microvascular repair and growth, increasing blood flow not just to the penile tissue but also to the perineum. Improved oxygen and nutrient delivery can enhance muscular endurance, alleviate pelvic discomfort, and facilitate stronger contractions during pelvic floor exercises, such as Kegels.

Supports recovery after pelvic trauma or surgery

If you’ve undergone surgery for prostate issues, hernias, or other pelvic concerns, the resulting nerve or muscle disruption can lead to long-term weakness. PRP can accelerate healing by activating the body’s natural repair mechanisms. Men recovering from such procedures may find the P-Shot helpful in rebuilding the integrity and function of their pelvic support system.

Enhances the effectiveness of pelvic floor therapy

Pelvic floor physical therapy is a gold standard treatment for urinary incontinence and core instability. When combined with regenerative medicine, such as the P-Shot, results may be amplified. PRP can prime the tissues for faster recovery, increase muscular response, and potentially shorten the time required to see improvements.

Additional ways to improve pelvic floor strength

While the P-Shot provides a regenerative boost to pelvic floor health, it is most effective when combined with other supportive strategies. Strengthening the pelvic floor can enhance bladder control, improve sexual performance, improve posture, and increase core stability. If you want to enhance your results, consider incorporating the following into your routine:

• Practice Kegel exercises: Kegels are targeted contractions of the pelvic floor muscles. To perform them, tighten the muscles you would use to stop urinating midstream, hold for a few seconds, then release. Aim for 3 sets of 10-15 repetitions daily to build endurance.
• Try pelvic floor therapy: A licensed pelvic floor therapist can help you identify muscle imbalances, retrain proper coordination, and guide you through customized strengthening and relaxation techniques. This is especially beneficial for men recovering from prostate surgery.
• Maintain healthy body weight: Excess weight places added pressure on the pelvic floor, which can weaken its function. Maintaining a healthy weight through balanced nutrition and regular exercise reduces this strain and supports pelvic health.
• Avoid excessive straining: Chronic constipation, heavy lifting, or improper weightlifting can stress and damage the pelvic floor. Practice good bowel habits, lift with proper form, and avoid holding your breath during exertion to protect these delicate muscles.
• Strengthen your core: The pelvic floor is part of your core muscle group, which includes the abdominals, back, and diaphragm. Exercises like planks, bridges, and Pilates can improve overall stability and support pelvic floor function.
