P-shots: A shot to the penis!

Posted by MichealH Alexander on February 8th, 2020

Commonly experienced but rarely spoken about, erectile dysfunction (ED) is defined simply as the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance.

ED affects as many as 1 in 4 men, and evidence indicates the incidence is rising.

In many cases, ED may not be caused by just one factor. It’s usually a combination of things, such as a person’s underlying medical conditions, mental and emotional state as well as their lifestyle. Some of the common causes include:

Endocrine diseases - hormonal imbalance is something that is more and more evident in society today. This can be attributed in part to our diet and the number of toxins we expose ourselves to on a daily basis.

Cardiac related conditions - you might recall the staggering number of young adults with heart issues I wrote about.

Vascular or neurological disorders - blood flow issues and circulatory disorders of the pelvis and penile region is a commonly occurring issue when it comes to diagnosing erectile dysfunction. This is also pertinent to heart function. The better the heart is at its primary function of pumping blood throughout the body, the better blood circulation is. Once we optimise circulation to the penis, erections will significantly improve.

Medications - some medications especially hypertensive medications can adversely affect erections. It is a good idea to bring your medications to your healthcare professional for a review if you feel this may be a concern for you.

Lifestyle and emotional disorders - we’ve got to keep moving! A sedentary lifestyle is less beneficial for all the contributing factors mentioned above.

What is PRP?

Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, is a substance that’s thought to promote healing when injected. Plasma is a component of your blood that contains special “factors,” or proteins, that help your blood to clot. It also contains proteins that support cell growth. With this new cell growth spurt, we can dramatically improve the rejuvenation rates of the cells and reduce the effects of stress and oxidation to the tissues.

Basically, with this improvement to cell nourishment, the penis as an organ will be able to function better. Happier, if you will.

What is the principle behind PRP usage?

When we administer PRP, we are administering a small amount of very concentrated preparations of growth factors. With this high degree of concentration, the effects of the growth factors are amplified.

The process of extracting such a rich preparation of growth factors is the main differentiation between your body producing the nutrients and us injecting it into the body. P Shot Malaysia Price

When can it be used?

Apart from a P-shot, we have been using PRP in various areas of medicine for the similar congregated effect of reducing inflammation and improving tissue health in the body. Considering that this is such a local process (meaning we inject it directly into the preferred area), we have experience injecting PRP into various other sites of the body. For instance:-

Hair loss: RP injections are effective in treating androgenic alopecia (male pattern baldness). That being said, this is usually done after a comprehensive review and excluding other causes of hair loss.

Joint & Tendon injuries: Common injuries such as tennis elbow, knee arthritic conditions, and other aches and pains have been shown to improve with PRP injection.

Acute injuries: We can also use PRP technology to reduce inflammation and therefore pain in recent injuries such as pulled hamstring muscles or knee sprains.

Based on this premise, the P-shot was developed. After all, if it could successfully help with tissue repair in muscles and tendons, why not the tissue responsible for erections?

It is rather new in terms of its medical usage for erections. Therefore, the evidence of this practice of P-shots are not as widely available as say, the use of oral medications (such as Viagra or other PDE5-inhibitors) for improving an erection. That being said, the scientific principles are sound and we tend to see improved reactions in almost all of its other uses as mentioned above.
