Introduction
The P-Shot (Priapus Shot) is a modern, safe, and effective method to improve erectile function and penile tissue quality. In this procedure, the patient’s own growth factors are concentrated and used to stimulate and rejuvenate penile tissue. At Andromed Medical Center, a specialized clinic for sexual health and cosmetic treatments, we provide comprehensive P-Shot services and connect patients with the best specialists in Iran.
What Is Erectile Dysfunction?
Erectile dysfunction (ED) refers to a man’s inability to achieve or maintain a firm erection.
An erection occurs when a significant volume of blood is pumped into the penile cylinders and becomes trapped, causing them to expand and harden like balloons.
Factors that may reduce blood flow and impair erection quality include:
Age-related conditions such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, endocrine disorders, and cardiovascular problems.
Congenital or acquired factors such as venous leak, physical trauma, cancer, or substance abuse, which may cause blood to leak from the penile cylinders, resulting in soft or absent erections.
Treatment Options for Erectile Dysfunction
After evaluating the patient’s condition and the severity of ED, the doctor may recommend one of the following treatments:
P-Shot therapy – improves erectile function and penile tissue quality.
Oral or injectable medications – produce temporary erections.
Penile prosthesis implantation surgery – definitive treatment for complete ED
The P-Shot (Priapus Shot) is a minimally invasive procedure that uses the patient’s own blood to improve erectile quality.
Penile implants provide a definitive solution for men whose erectile tissue is physically unable to achieve an erection due to congenital or acquired conditions, and who do not respond to medications or P-Shot therapy.
The P-Shot is a minimally invasive, low-risk procedure using platelet-rich plasma (PRP) derived from the patient’s own blood to rejuvenate penile tissue.
Procedure steps:
Blood collection: 200–300 ml of the patient’s blood is drawn.
Activation of growth factors: Using specialized equipment, the blood is processed to concentrate and activate growth factors.
Injection: The enriched plasma is injected into specific areas of the penis.
Tissue rejuvenation: Penile tissue cells respond to growth factors, improving blood flow and circulation. Over time, this enhances erection quality and rigidity.
Repeated sessions can further improve effectiveness. The P-Shot is recommended even for men without ED, as a preventive and tissue-strengthening procedure.
Cost and Considerations
The cost of P-Shot therapy varies depending on the device, type, and number of kits used. Key factors for optimal results include:
Using high-quality kits.
Proper preparation and activation of growth factors to achieve maximum platelet purity.
On average, one session (including materials, physician fees, and related costs) ranges from X to X AED. Treatment at specialized medical centers significantly affects results.
Who Can Benefit and Recommended Sessions
P-Shot therapy is not limited to men with ED.
Healthy men can also benefit from P-Shot as a preventive measure to maintain penile tissue health and erection quality.
Multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal and long-lasting results.
Preparation and Post-Injection Care
Before the procedure:
Consultation to evaluate blood clotting and overall health.
Eat a suitable meal and bring a snack (e.g., chocolate) for after blood collection.
During the procedure:
Blood is drawn (200–300 ml).
Growth factors are processed and prepared for injection.
Injection is performed using a fine needle at specific penile points.
Patients may be asked to remain in the clinic for 10–30 minutes for observation.
Post-procedure care:
Minimal, as the procedure is outpatient and low-risk.
Follow any instructions provided by the physician regarding hygiene and sexual activity.
Pain and Side Effects
P-Shot injections are performed under local anesthesia and are generally virtually painless.
Pain is significantly less than cosmetic injections such as facial fillers or PRP for hair and skin.
Because the plasma comes from the patient’s own blood, risk of allergic reactions or complications is extremely low.
It is essential to seek P-Shot therapy at experienced and reputable clinics to ensure safety and proper injection technique.
