Find Out How PRP Can Boost Your Sexual Health

As medical researchers uncover a deeper understanding of the human body, we’re able to better tap the body’s innate abilities. That includes the remarkable ability to heal. 

If you’ve ever marveled at the way your body seals a cut, we have good news. We can harness that regenerative power to help you reach your wellness goals. That includes your sexual health goals. 

Here at PSI Medical Group in Wixom, Michigan, Robert Grafton, MD, and our team use a specialized kind of regenerative medicine to help both men and women. It’s called platelet-rich plasma (PRP). When injected into targeted tissue in your penis or vagina, PRP can boost your sexual health.  

How PRP works 

We get platelet-rich plasma from your own blood. After taking a very small sample, we spin it in a centrifuge. This allows us to separate the platelets from the other components in your blood.

Your body uses platelets to help you heal. Platelets clump together at injury sites so your blood can clot. But that’s not their only function. They also contain growth factors, proteins that your body uses to do the work of generating new, healthy cells in the area. 

By introducing platelets where you need them, Dr. Grafton kick-starts regeneration in that area. 

If he injects it into the vagina or clitoris, for example, it tells the body to start healing work there. That can increase circulation and stimulate new cell production, which in turn can thicken tissue. 

Many women say this treatment — often dubbed the O-shot® — improves sensitivity and reduces dryness. 

PRP treatment can similarly help men with their sexual wellness goals. When applied to the penile tissue, it works to improve circulation and encourage tissue growth. Many men say this helps them get stronger erections. Patients also report increased sensitivity and better stamina during sex. 

What to expect with PRP for sexual health

If the thought of getting an injection in one of your body’s most sensitive areas sounds unpleasant, don’t worry. We take measures to keep you comfortable during PRP treatment.

Specifically, we apply a strong topical numbing solution to any areas where we plan to place injections. You might feel a little pressure during treatment, but you shouldn’t have any pain. 

PRP doesn’t take effect overnight. Your body needs time to use the resources the platelet-rich plasma delivers. You should notice some improvement over the coming weeks. 

Some people achieve their sexual wellness goals with a single PRP treatment session. For others, Dr. Grafton recommends a series of appointments, spaced strategically apart to keep giving your body what it needs. 

We can tailor a plan that’s right for you. To explore using PRP to move toward your sexual health goals, call our team at PSI Medical Group in Wixom, Michigan, or book your visit through our convenient website scheduler today.
