P-Shot PRP Injections

What Is a P-Shot (Priapus Shot) in Bellevue?

A Priapus Shot® (P-Shot®) is a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection that uses PRP prepared from your own blood. The goal is to support tissue repair and circulation pathways that can affect erectile function and sexual performance for patients in Bellevue and the Greater Seattle area.

At SageMED, we prepare PRP using the EmCyte Super-Concentrated PRP system, a closed, sterile processing method designed for more standardized PRP preparation. In our protocol, this approach is intended to achieve higher platelet concentrations than many standard gel-tube systems (exact concentration varies by individual and technique).

How the P-Shot Works

PRP contains platelets and growth factors involved in normal tissue repair. When PRP is injected into targeted penile tissue, the intended effects may include support for:

• Erection quality and duration (often related to vascular function and tissue responsiveness)
• Penile sensitivity (some patients report changes in sensation)
• Sexual confidence and performance (indirectly influenced by symptom improvement)

Important: PRP for erectile dysfunction is commonly marketed, but clinical evidence is still evolving, and outcomes vary. Your clinician should review realistic expectations based on your history, exam findings, and goals.

What Does the P-Shot Treat?

Some patients seek PRP injections for concerns such as:

• Erectile dysfunction (ED)
• Reduced sensitivity or sexual satisfaction concerns
• Peyronie's disease (scar tissue and curvature)
• Lichen sclerosus (in select cases, depending on evaluation)

Because research quality and protocols vary across studies, the P-Shot® should be approached as an adjunctive, individualized option, not a guaranteed solution. Your clinician will help you weigh potential benefits, cost, and alternatives.

What Happens During P-Shot Treatment at SageMED?

SageMED offers P-Shot® PRP injections at our Bellevue clinic, serving the Greater Seattle area. Most appointments are straightforward and performed in-office.

Blood draw

A small blood sample is taken from your arm.

PRP preparation

Your sample is processed in a centrifuge using the EmCyte Super-Concentrated PRP system to separate and concentrate platelet-rich plasma.

Numbing for comfort

A topical numbing agent and/or local anesthetic may be used to reduce discomfort.

Targeted PRP injection

PRP is injected into specific areas based on your symptoms and clinician assessment.

Time: Many P-Shot® visits take about 30 minutes, though consult visits may take longer.
Downtime: Typically minimal. Most patients return to normal daily activity the same day.

How Many P-Shot Treatments Will I Need?

Treatment plans vary. Some men choose a single session, while others consider a series depending on:

• ED severity and duration
• Vascular health and underlying conditions
• Medications and hormone status
• Response after the first treatment
• Whether combination therapy is recommended

At SageMED, your plan is personalized and based on medical screening, goals, and follow-up response.

Is the P-Shot Safe?

Because PRP is prepared from your own blood, it is generally well-tolerated. Potential side effects are usually temporary and can include:

• Mild swelling, soreness, or bruising
• Temporary sensitivity changes
• Rare risks seen with any injection procedure (infection, bleeding)

Your clinician will review contraindications (e.g., active infection, certain bleeding disorders) and help determine if PRP injections are appropriate for you.

Who Is a Good Candidate for the P-Shot?

You may be a candidate if you:

• Have erectile dysfunction (ED)
• Notice reduced sensitivity
• Want to explore non-surgical ED treatment options
• Have Peyronie's disease and are evaluating supportive therapies
• Want a clinician-guided plan that may include PRP with other treatments

A medical consultation is essential to confirm candidacy and to discuss realistic expectations. Many clinics and clinicians consider PRP for ED investigational, so transparency around evidence and outcomes matters.

What to Expect

During Your Consultation

A SageMED clinician will review symptoms, medical history, and contributing factors. Depending on your case, lab testing may be recommended (for example, testosterone and cardiometabolic markers) to identify treatable root contributors to ED.

During Your P-Shot Appointment

Your blood is drawn, PRP is prepared, the area is numbed, and PRP is injected using a targeted approach.

After Your P-Shot Injection

Downtime is typically minimal. Some clinicians may recommend a vacuum erection device (VED) protocol to support tissue expansion and circulation after treatment. Sexual activity is commonly resumed the same day or within 24 hours, depending on comfort and clinician guidance.

How Long Do P-Shot Effects Last?

Results vary. Some men report changes within weeks, and benefits may last several months up to a year. Longevity depends on underlying vascular health, hormone status, lifestyle factors, and whether combination therapies are used.
