Understanding Sexual Dysfunction in Men
Male sexual dysfunction refers to conditions defined by impaired sexual functioning. The most common of these are erectile dysfunction (ED), Peyronie’s disease (PD) and premature ejaculation (PE). For these problems to be diagnosed as male sexual dysfunction, the man or his partner must view his sexual functioning as impaired.
While anyone can develop sexual dysfunction, the prevalence of male sexual dysfunction increases with age. Half of all men experience some degree of ED after age 40, for example.
One of the biggest risk factors for this problem is poor health. Men with diabetes, hypertension, cancer and stroke, for example, are more likely to experience a range of sexual problems. Older men, especially those who smoke, drink alcohol and are sedentary, are also more likely to see a decline in their sexual functioning. This is simply due to the effects of ill health and lifestyle factors on blood vessels. Since good blood flow is essential for healthy sexual functioning, anything that impairs it will lead to problems with erections, desire and performance. Mental health issues can impact sexual functioning as well.
The treatment of male sexual dysfunction depends on the underlying reasons you’re experiencing it. Your doctor can help you manage this problem by addressing the root causes. The P-Shot is one of many treatment options that may help.
How the P-Shot Can Restore Your Sex Life
The P-Shot is a minimally invasive, quick and convenient treatment for male sexual dysfunction. It involves injecting PRP isolated from your own blood into the penile shaft to promote tissue regeneration and enhanced neovascularization. Patients usually need just one treatment to enjoy the benefits for many months.
The benefits of getting the P-Shot may include:
- Improved blood flow to the penis
- Stronger, longer-lasting erections
- Enhanced penile sensitivity
- Reduced penile curvature
- Penile enhancement
Developed by Dr. Charles Runels — the inventor of the famous Vampire Facial and O-Shot for women — the P-Shot treatment is based on platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. PRP was originally developed as an adjunctive treatment in regenerative medicine for conditions like muscle and bone injuries, osteoarthritis and complicated wounds. However, its use has now expanded beyond that, including in the enhancement of sexual wellness.
PRP is processed liquid from blood, containing up to 13 times the platelet concentration of normal blood. Platelets are blood cells involved in wound healing and tissue repair due to their high concentration of growth factors, cytokines and lysosomes. Injecting platelets into the penile shaft is believed to help regenerate its blood vessels, smooth muscles and connective tissues.
