You might be here because you’ve noticed changes in your performance, confidence, or sensitivity. Whether it’s difficulty maintaining erections, a lack of stamina, or simply the desire for enhancement, these concerns can impact your self-esteem and relationships. The P-Shot® (Priapus Shot) has gained attention for its regenerative approach to male sexual wellness, but like many men, you probably have questions before moving forward.
At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we specialize in evidence-based, patient-centered treatments that promote long-term wellness from the inside out. The P-Shot is just one of many advanced services we offer to help you feel like yourself again—strong, energetic, and fully in control. In this article, we’ll explore the top four questions men ask before getting the P-Shot.
Is the P-Shot safe?
Yes, the P-Shot is generally considered safe because it uses your own blood-derived growth factors. The procedure begins with a small blood draw, from which platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is extracted using a centrifuge. PRP contains growth factors that help regenerate tissues, improve blood flow, and stimulate nerve sensitivity.
Because the injection is made from your own biological material, there’s virtually no risk of allergic reaction or rejection. The procedure is also minimally invasive and performed under local anesthesia to ensure comfort. At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we follow strict medical protocols and use sterile systems for PRP preparation to ensure safety.
What results can I expect?
Most men report noticeable improvements within a few weeks of receiving the P-Shot. These results may include stronger erections, improved blood flow, enhanced sensitivity, increased length and girth, and greater stamina during intimacy. Some men also report better control over ejaculation and overall sexual satisfaction.
However, it’s important to understand that individual results vary based on age, baseline health, and lifestyle. While some experience dramatic improvement after just one treatment, others may benefit from several injections over time. At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we tailor every treatment plan to your specific goals and physiology.
Does the P-Shot hurt?
Understandably, pain is a major concern for many men considering the P-Shot. Fortunately, the procedure is highly comfortable. A numbing cream or local anesthetic is applied before the injection, so most men feel only minimal pressure or a slight pinch.
The entire process typically takes 30 to 45 minutes, including numbing time. While you might experience minor swelling, redness, or sensitivity afterward, these side effects are temporary and usually resolve within 24-48 hours. You’ll be able to return to normal activities almost immediately—and yes, that includes sexual activity.
How long do the results last?
The effects of the P-Shot can last anywhere from 12 to 18 months, depending on your body’s response and how well you maintain your health. Many men choose to repeat the treatment annually to maintain optimal results. Others pair it with complementary therapies, such as Shockwave Therapy or testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), for enhanced benefits.
At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all approaches. That’s why we create personalized treatment timelines and maintenance plans based on your goals, lifestyle, and ongoing health status. If your results begin to diminish, we’re here to adjust and optimize your plan so you can continue experiencing the full benefits of the P-Shot.
Other questions you should ask your provider
Before moving forward with the P-Shot, it’s important to have an open conversation with your provider. Asking the right questions can help you set realistic expectations, feel confident about the procedure, and ensure you’re choosing a provider who prioritizes your safety and success. Here are some essential questions you should ask:
What kind of training and experience do you have with the P-Shot?
Not all providers offering the P-Shot have the same level of expertise. Be sure to ask how many procedures your provider has performed and whether they’ve received specialized training in PRP-based sexual wellness treatments. A well-trained, experienced provider can significantly influence the safety and effectiveness of your results.
What should I do to prepare before the treatment?
Your provider should give clear pre-procedure instructions, such as staying well-hydrated and avoiding anti-inflammatory medications that could affect platelet function. Understanding these steps ensures that your PRP is as potent and effective as possible during injection.
What happens during and after the procedure?
Don’t hesitate to ask for a detailed explanation of what to expect from start to finish. You’ll want to know how long the procedure takes, how the numbing process works, how the injections are administered, and what kind of aftercare is recommended. Understanding the timeline and sensations involved can help ease anxiety and clarify your recovery expectations.
Will I need more than one treatment?
Some men are satisfied with one session, while others benefit from a series of treatments or annual maintenance. Your medical provider should help you develop a personalized treatment plan based on your goals, sexual health history, and response to the first session.
