13 Sept 2024Royal Medical Center

 

With time, new unconventional women's health treatments have started to make their mark, such as the O-Shot®. Curious about what it is and how? Here at Royal Medical Center, we will be giving you accurate detailed information to enlighten you so that you may make an educated decision about this treatment and your health.


Understanding the O-Shot


The O-Shot is a nonsurgical medical treatment using PRP aimed at improving sexual pleasure, intensifying orgasms, and even relieving painful intercourse and other issues contributing to sexual dysfunction. This trademarked medical procedure, invented by Dr. Charles Runels, uses the body's natural processes in healing to restore and revitalize vaginal and clitoral tissues.


How Does the O-Shot Work?


This procedure will utilize part of your blood, which is called platelet-rich plasma. PRP is rich in growth factors that stimulate the processes of healing and regeneration of tissues. Here is a step-by-step overview of how an O-Shot works:


  • Blood Draw: It starts with drawing your blood from the arm. This is a fast step and not invasive at all.


  • PRP Extraction: Further, the blood is processed in a centrifuge to extract PRP. This PRP contains platelets and growth factors, which are the active ingredients responsible for healing and tissue repair.


  • Injection: PRP is then injected into the tissues of the vagina and clitoris at precise sites. This kind of localized therapy stimulates the local tissues, hence improving blood flow, sensitivity, and sexual satisfaction in general.


  • Recovery: There is little to no downtime with the O-Shot®. Most women can return to normal activities almost immediately following the treatment.


Benefits of the O-Shot


The O-Shot can serve a host of possible benefits for women who seek enhancements in their sexual health and general health status by indirectly benefiting them with the following potential advantages:


  • Enhanced Sexual Pleasure: Most of the women are reported to have increased sensitivity and heightened sexual pleasure following the O-Shot. This, in essence, is developed by the rejuvenation of tissues and improved blood flow in the treated areas.


  • Improved Orgasm Intensity: With the O-Shot®, orgasms are more intense and pleasing due to the overall improved quality of the tissues in terms of sensitivity and health.


  • Addressing Sexual Dysfunction: When there has been sexual dysfunction, such as vaginal dryness or lack of libido, or orgasmic dysfunction in a woman, then the O-Shot® may help to relieve these dysfunctions. In treating the tissue problems, these dysfunctions are addressed by the treatment to develop better overall sexual function.


  • Non-Surgical Approach: Other than surgical interventions, the O-Shot® is pain-free and thus takes less downtime, which will be very appealing for women who might want less invasive remedies.


  • Natural and Safe: It makes use of your blood for treatment; hence, allergic actions or complications are less likely compared to other treatments using artificial substances.


What to Expect During the O-Shot® Procedure


Understanding what to expect during the O-Shot® procedure may help you relax your apprehension and prepare you in every respect:


  • Consultation: Before starting the process, you will have a consultation with one of our professional experts at the Royal Medical Center. We will be able to go through your medical history, discuss your goals of treatment, and voice your concerns if any. It is also an opportunity for you to forward questions and understand in detail what the O-Shot® is.


  • Preparation: On the day of the treatment, we begin with the withdrawal of some blood from your arm. Then the blood is prepared to obtain the PRP.


  • Injection: Once PRP is ready, it will be cautiously injected into the areas of concern. The whole process takes approximately 30 to 60 minutes. During the injections, you may feel the pinch, though associated pain, if present, is pretty bearable and short-term.


  • Post-Procedure Care: You may have mild swelling or sensitivity in the treated areas after the O-Shot®. This is quite normal and settles down within days. Most women can return to their daily activities on the same day. We will provide you with all details regarding aftercare.


Recovery and Results


Most women will have very little downtime after the O-Shot. There may be some mild swelling or tenderness at the site of injection, but this often resolves within several hours to a day. Consider the following key points regarding post-treatment care and results:


  • Immediate Results: In some women, the sexual sensitivity improved almost immediately, although full results are seen after a few weeks when the PRP starts causing tissue regeneration.


  • Long-Lasting Effects: The effects can last up to 18 months. However, some patients opt for additional treatments to continue with results improvements.


  • No Downtime: Because the treatment is non-invasive, there is no required or set downtime. You can immediately go back to work or other activities you feel like doing.


  • Avoid Intercourse for 24-48 Hours: Even though most normal activities can be resumed without any discomfort, it is best if sexual intercourse is avoided in the first 24 to 48 hours after treatment.


In general, the O-Shot demonstrates a partial immediate and partial long-lasting action with less than a few side effects; thus, it is convenient for busy individuals.


Is the O-Shot® Right for You?


The O-Shot® is very promising for women in the pursuit of reclaiming their best sexual self, along with addressing sexual dysfunction issues. However, it might not be suited for everybody. The candidates most suited for the O-Shot include the following:


  • Women who have an inability or difficulty achieving orgasm
  • Those suffering from vaginal dryness or discomfort during sex
  • Women experiencing a decrease in libido or sexual desire
  • Women who experience mild to moderate urinary incontinence
  • Non-surgical and natural women's treatment


It is necessary to discuss one's needs and health conditions individually with a professional medical specialist.
