PRP Injections For Men In Pittsburgh

Most men, at some point in their lives, will have difficulty holding a sexually satisfying erection. This, however, becomes a problem when it occurs more frequently and could be a sign of erectile dysfunction (ED).

Dr Roxana Barad is a member of the Cellular Medicine Association (CMA), which is the only body that certifies physicians to perform the P Shot and the O Shot.

How Does PRP Work?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is the protein-rich component of your blood. It facilitates cell regeneration and healing that is beneficial to damaged muscles, tendons, joints, and skin. The best way to describe PRP is to think of it as a natural treatment that uses your own blood to heal your body.

We achieve this by drawing blood from your arm, like a typical blood draw. The blood is then put in a centrifuge machine to separate out the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from the red blood cells. Dr. Barad then injects the PRP into the numbed penis in a specific manner. The platelet-rich plasma releases growth factors which stimulate your tissues to regenerate and also to improve circulation in the treated area. This regeneration of tissues and blood supply generally leads to improved sexual function.

Benefits Of The P-Shot For Men

The benefits for men struggling with sexual dysfunction disorders, such as a weak erection and premature ejaculation include:

• A longer-lasting and firmer erection
• Increased penis length and width, for most men
• More blood flow to the penis supports improved sexual function
• Increased sexual stamina
• Improved confidence

In some patients, the treatment effects are noticeable within 24 hours, whereas in others the effects become apparent after a few treatment sessions. If there are certain underlying health concerns, the P-shot may not be effective.

What To Expect During Your P-Shot Session

It is not unusual for Dr. Barad’s Pittsburgh patients to feel hesitant at the thought of having a penile injection.This hesitation is normal and we reassure patients that the PRP shot is pain-free since the injection sites are numb throughout the treatment. The entire process takes approximately 30 minutes to complete.

During the treatment, your blood will be collected into a tube and then the platelet-rich plasma is separated via a centrifuge. This PRP is then injected into the numbed penile shaft and tip.

You should expect between 5 to 7 injections. Your doctor will also connect you to a source to fit you for a well-fitting penis pump. To assist with optimal results, the pump is to be used for no longer than 10 minutes per day. Using the penis pump immediately after the P-shot assists in spreading the active growth factors from the PRP into the needed areas to improve function. In the subsequent days after treatment, consistently using the pump, assists in improving circulation to the penis, often also aiding length and girth of the penis.

Am I A Candidate?

If you struggle with maintaining an erection, have low libido, or have any other sexual dysfunction problems, or suffer from Peyronie’s disease, then PRP may benefit you. Dr. Barad will determine your candidacy for the P-shot procedure during a consultation.

Associated Risks And Side Effects

As with all procedures, there is the possibility of risks, including swelling, redness, and some bruising. This will, however, subside a few days after treatment. It is important to follow your physician’s recovery instructions and to contact the office should you experience any of the following complications:

• Infection
• Scarring
• Cold sores

(Note: none of these complications have occurred in Dr. Barad’s experience with the P-shot or any other PRP treatments.)
