What is a PRP penile injection? The namesake of the PRP penile injection, Priapus, is the Greek god of virility. The PRP penile injection is a natural alternative remedy for erectile dysfunction (ED, the inability to achieve and maintain an erection), which increases with age. Within the penis there are two paired cylinders (hollow tubes) that, when filled with entrapped blood, are responsible for the hardness of an erection. If this is not accomplished a man cannot achieve nor maintain an erection. It is estimated that 1 out of every 2 men between the ages of 35 and 65 will have a problem with ED.
There are varied diseases that can cause ED, including high blood pressure, diabetes, kidney disease, enlarged prostate (BPH), and prostate cancer. Additionally, medications, emotional, and psychological issues (i.e., depression, anxiety, and stress), or the after-effects of surgery (typically prostate removal due to cancer) can contribute to ED. With well over 20 Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drugs on the market, the PRP penile injection is well-suited for those men who seek a natural, non-surgical approach to the treatment of their ED, as well as those seeking male enhancement or treatment for Peyronie’s disease, an ailment causing curved, painful erections.
How the PRP Penile Injection Works
The PRP penile injection is a procedure utilizing natural growth factors that are already present in the blood. The growth factors are harvested using the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) method. To get PRP, whole blood is drawn from a patient and put into a machine (a centrifuge) that separates the platelets from the rest of the blood’s components (i.e., red and white blood cells). The resulting PRP, which is enriched with growth factors, is then injected into the penis to stimulate the growth of young, revitalized tissue and to maximize blood flow, allowing for penile rejuvenation.
The PRP penile injection procedure is quick (performed in 30–40 minutes), virtually painless, and does not require general anesthesia—just local topical anesthesia. Additionally, the PRP penile injection is performed in-office, which means no downtime or hospitalizations and being able to resume normal activities, including sexual intercourse, the same day as the procedure. Typically, the results of the PRP penile injection are immediate (but optimal 3 to 4 weeks after the procedure) and can last as long as 1 to 2 months.
Does the PRP Penile Injection Work?
The PRP penile injection is a highly effective therapy representing an alternative solution to the patient’s sexual concerns (e.g., ED or male enhancement). Benefits of the PRP penile injection may include:
- More rigid and sustainable erections (remember the treatment increases blood flow)
- Increased sexual stamina
- Increased sexual sensitivity and pleasure
- Increased penile length and girth
- Reduced time between ejaculation and subsequent erections
The PRP penile injection represents state-of-the-art medical innovation and delivers long-lasting results that cannot be achieved with pills, creams, or other male enhancement procedures.
