Considering a PRP Shot for Sexual Health? 5 Key Benefits You Should Know

The newest breakthrough in men’s sexual health is here. Precision MD Cosmetic Surgery Center of Sacramento, California is excited to tell you about the amazing benefits of the PRP shot for sexual enhancement. Many people have heard about this groundbreaking treatment and demand is on the rise. However, the treatment can be intimidating to many men. Once you know the benefits and advantages of this medical marvel, you will have nothing to fear.

What Is the PRP Shot for Erectile Dysfunction?

The PRP shot is an FDA-approved treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED). Erectile dysfunction affects millions of men in the United States. The percentage of men who have experienced ED tends to be directly correlated with their age. Around 30% of men in their 30s have it, 40% in their 40s, and so on.

The PRP shot utilizes a miraculous substance known as platelet-rich plasma (PRP). When PRP is injected into any part of your body, it causes your body to construct new, fresh cells. It also removes old cells from the area.

As a result, that part of your body works like new. That’s because the cells in it are new and free of the defects of aging. Truly, PRP has changed how we combat aging.

What Is PRP?

Platelet-rich plasma is a concentration of two of the main components found in blood: platelets and plasma. Red blood cells and white blood cells are filtered out when PRP is produced.

One of the major advantages of PRP treatment is that it uses material derived from your own body. You do not need to find a donor or worry about possible compatibility issues. The PRP that we use comes directly from you immediately before the treatment.

How Is PRP Made?

If you have ever donated plasma or platelets, then you have seen most of this process. To make PRP, we will connect a tube to a vein in your arm. This tube leads to a centrifuge. The centrifuge takes your blood and spins it at high speeds. When spun, liquids separate into their component parts according to density. The centrifuge then siphons off only the material that we want.

In this case, that is plasma and platelets. Your red and white blood cells are pushed back into your bloodstream through the same tube. You will feel slight changes in blood pressure as this process repeats. Once there is enough PRP to perform the treatment, we will disconnect you and begin. So, what makes PRP so special?

How Does PRP Work?

Platelets are the key ingredient in PRP. Although they do not make up much of your blood, they have a very important role. Normally platelets float along and do very little in the bloodstream. However, whenever you start bleeding, platelets passing by take notice. They quickly send out signals to other platelets in the area.

When those platelets get together near the wound, they release an enzyme that causes your blood to form clots. These clots will help to stop the bleeding. Stopping bleeding is the first step in wound healing. Step two is to remove damaged cells and replace them with healthy ones. Platelets release Platelet-derived Growth Factor (PDGF), which stimulates this process. PDGF only works when there is a high concentration of platelets in the area.

That is why PRP works so well. It tricks the body into repairing itself as if it had been wounded. That is exactly what we need to combat aging. Wounds are sudden, painful, and obvious. Aging, on the other hand, is gradual and subtle. Aging never triggers your body’s repair mechanisms naturally. As a result, cells decay and lose their ability to function well.

PRP and Erectile Dysfunction

How can PRP help you with ED? When we inject PRP into your penis directly, your body will remove damaged old cells from your penis and replace them with newer ones. These fresh cells will work better and give you great results.

In particular, PRP can help rebuild the corpora cavernosa and corpus spongiosum, which are the penile tissues that fill with blood to achieve erection. Aging reduces their ability to hold blood. PRP undoes that damage and makes them work like new.

The 5 Amazing Benefits of the PRP Shot for Erectile Dysfunction

The benefits mentioned here come from reports from actual patients. Although most patients respond well to this treatment, it’s important to remember that your experience may vary.

You may experience all of these benefits to varying degrees. Some people have a stronger response than others. This can be due to a number of variables which we will discuss later.

1. Longer Lasting Erections

One of the greatest benefits for men with is a longer lasting erection. PRP injections may reduce the chances of premature ejaculation. The refractory period time is also reduced.

Premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction are related in some cases. If you find that you cannot keep an erection for very long, either because it fades away or you ejaculate too soon, PRP may help you.

By restoring the cells’ function, PRP therapy enables them to hold blood longer and not give out so quickly. Your partner is sure to be satisfied, and that’s not the only benefit for your erections.

2. Harder Erections

If your erection is not strong enough to achieve penetration, you have a clear case of ED. Even when able to penetrate, many ED patients find that their erection does not satisfy their partner.

PRP will fix that. The hardness of an erection is determined by the volume of blood the penis is able to contain. With the corpora cavernosa and corpus spongiosum restored to full strength, you will be able to hold more blood than before. That increases the hardness of your erection significantly. You might even notice this the very next day, and the benefits do not stop there.

3. Your Penis May Gain Size

The number of scams and spam emails sent on this subject is no secret to any man. From pills to creams to strange machines, many promises have been made. Few of them have been kept.

That changes with the PRP shot. It is common to combine PRP treatment with a penis pump to produce the best results. Using the pump forces the injected PRP to reach other areas, and it helps to stretch out the cells to let the PRP in.

When used properly in conjunction with PRP, the pump delivers long-term gains to penis size. Some men report up to an inch increase in both length and girth. These results usually become apparent after a week or two. They tend to only be visible when the penis is erect.

4. Zero Risk of Damage

One of the biggest benefits of PRP treatment is that it involves no risk of damage to your body. As we mentioned, the PRP comes from your own body, which makes it perfectly safe. The shot is non-invasive, making it safe for anyone to try. Surgical solutions to ED can be quite risky. For example, vascular reconstructive surgery is similar to a heart bypass. New arteries are routed to the penis to improve blood flow.

Other techniques exist that use implants that can contribute to your erection. While these techniques work, they are far more complicated and much more expensive. Surgical techniques require additional anesthesia, which has its own set of risks. Recovery time is much longer. PRP, in comparison, is an outpatient treatment that takes less than an hour.

Should anything go wrong during such a procedure, you could have lasting damage, or have to undergo a second surgery. With PRP, you can rest assured that you will walk out without complications.

5. No Loss of Sensation

ED patients with premature ejaculation seek to extend the duration of their sexual experiences. One way that many people approach this problem is to diminish sensation. If the penis is not overstimulated, premature ejaculation will not occur.

However, this reduces the pleasure experienced during sex. It can also reduce pleasure for your partner, especially if you are using numbing creams or condoms with such substances applied.

Operations that increase penis size rely on injecting fat cells into the space between the skin and venous tissues. While this can increase your size slightly, it also reduces your sensation. Those fat cells act as a padding that gets in the way of your physical enjoyment. With PRP therapy, you never sacrifice sensation to achieve a satisfying erection.

The Process of the PRP Shot

Now that you know about the benefits, you might be curious as to how the process works. We strive to make your experience as smooth as possible. Here is everything you need to know.

Before the Treatment

Prior to any PRP treatment, you will have a meeting with the doctor to verify that your ED can be improved with PRP. Some causes of ED are mental, and PRP may not solve those problems.

Once the doctor has decided that you are a good candidate for the PRP shot, we will book an appointment. The doctor may also give you some dietary instructions for the days leading up to the appointment. This ensures that your plasma is at its best.

The Day of Treatment

On the day of your treatment, you should arrange for someone else to drive you home. Even though you will probably feel capable, it is always safer to have someone else on hand. Aside from that, there is very little that you need to do for your treatment. Arrive a bit early and wear loose, comfortable clothing.

First, we will produce the PRP by connecting you to the centrifuge. This process takes about 15 minutes, depending on the volume needed. Then, we will ask you to apply a topical anesthetic to your penis to make sure you don’t feel anything during the treatment. After a few minutes, the doctor will make sure you have no feeling in the area. Once you are completely numb, the treatment begins.

The doctor will inject PRP directly into your penis in several places. Once he has finished, you can redress. The entire treatment should be done within an hour.

After Your Treatment

We will book a follow-up appointment for a few weeks later. This is to make sure that you are getting the results you desire. A second treatment may be needed in some cases.
