What is the P-Shot®?
The P-Shot® (also called the Priapus Shot®) is a specific way of preparing and injecting platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into the penis. PRP is made by taking a small sample of your blood and spinning it to concentrate the platelets, which contain natural growth factors.
The idea is that these growth factors may help the tissue repair itself and improve blood flow. It’s still a relatively new treatment, and the research so far is limited, so we talk through what it can and can’t do before you decide.
Who might consider the P-Shot®?
Erectile dysfunction
Often combined with a course of focused shockwave therapy.
Peyronie’s disease
As part of a plan for curvature and discomfort, alongside other treatments.
Reduced sensitivity
For men who have noticed reduced sensation.
After prostate treatment
As part of rehabilitation, once your specialist team agrees it’s appropriate.

What happens on the day
- 01
Private consultation
We go through your history, medicines and expectations, and check the P-Shot® is suitable. This consultation is free.
- 02
Blood sample and PRP
We take a small blood sample from your arm and prepare the PRP in the clinic while you wait.
- 03
Numbing and injections
Numbing cream is applied first. The PRP is then injected using a very fine needle. The injections take only a few minutes.
- 04
Aftercare
You can go home straight afterwards. We give you written aftercare advice and follow up to see how you’re getting on.
Part of a personalised plan
The P-Shot® is rarely the whole answer. For erectile dysfunction, we often suggest combining it with a course of focused shockwave therapy, together with lifestyle changes and, if needed, advice to see your GP about blood pressure, diabetes or hormone checks.
What does the research say?
PRP for erectile problems has been studied in a small number of trials. A 2024 review of four randomised trials, with 413 men in total, found the overall results inconclusive [1]. An earlier review reached a similar view: early results are promising in some studies, but larger, well-designed trials are needed before firm conclusions can be drawn [2].
So the P-Shot® is an option to consider carefully, not a guaranteed fix. We’ll give you an honest view of what’s realistic for you.
When to get urgent help
After the P-Shot®, seek urgent medical advice if you notice increasing redness, heat, swelling or pain, or you develop a fever. Go to A&E if you have an erection that lasts more than four hours.

Your questions
P-Shot® questions answered
Does the P-Shot® hurt?
Numbing cream is applied first, so most men feel only slight pressure or a brief sting. The blood test from your arm feels like any other blood test.
Are there any risks or side effects?
Mild bruising, swelling or soreness at the injection sites is common and settles within a few days. As with any injection, there’s a small risk of infection. Because PRP comes from your own blood, the risk of an allergic reaction is very low. We go through the risks with you before you decide.
How soon might I notice a difference?
It varies. Any changes, if they happen, tend to develop gradually over the following weeks rather than straight away. Some men notice little or no change.
Can I have sex afterwards?
Yes, from the day after your treatment. We’ll give you full aftercare advice on the day.
Who carries out the P-Shot®?
