Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a substance that is derived from the patient’s own blood, and reinjected after filtration and concentration, to sites of injuries or inflammation. In a few words, PRP is essentially a mixture of stem cells, protein and other important growth factors that can be injected directly to a site of injury or inflammation, delivering these important elements in quantity to trigger healing and repair.
PRP treatments are on the rise as their benefits are becoming clearer. They are already used for pain relief, promotion of hair growth on the scalp, alleviating chronic pain and reducing muscle stiffness and promotion of youthful skin. The prime benefits of PRP therapy is that is 100% natural, non-invasive and there is no surgery involved.
A PRP treatment that has been designed for women to be administered in the vaginal region is known as the ‘O-Shot®’, short for ‘Orgasm Shot ®’. The O-Shot® rejuvenates the ‘orgasm organs’ in the woman’s body which includes the vagina and clitoris, the O-Shot® is a game-changing new treatment that not only addresses vaginal dryness, decreased libido (reduced sex drive) and reduced ability to achieve orgasm but also helps alleviate, and even cure, stress urinary incontinence.
Once the O-Shot® is administered, the stem cells and growth factors in the PRP stimulate regeneration of healthy vaginal tissue, including the pubo-urethral ligament which supports the bladder and prevents it from moving downwards, thus eliminating stress urinary incontinence or seriously reducing the leakage of urine experienced by these women.
The entire process can be done as an in-office procedure. The PRP is made from the patient’s own blood. Blood is taken in a vial from an arm, just like it is taken in any blood test. The PRP is a result of running the blood through a centrifuge using a special method and can be completed in under ten minutes at the time of the procedure.
The centrifuge results in separation of the red blood cells from the concentrated platelet-rich plasma, rich in growth factors and nutrients. Once the PRP injection is ready, the physician applies a local numbing cream to the vagina. PRP is then injected into both the upper vagina and clitoris (collectively termed as the O-spot) using a very thin needle.
There is little or no pain felt by the patient because of the numbing cream applied previously. Afterward, the woman can carry on with the rest of her day as usual.
The benefits from the O-Shot® can begin to show almost immediately as the growth factors set to repair and rejuvenate vaginal tissue, including the pubo-urethral ligament, further benefits becoming apparent with the passage of time including reduction of SUI symptoms.
Over 90% of women who go under this therapy report complete cure from stress incontinence and the remainder still report significant improvements in the SUI symptoms.
