O Shot in Islamabad

With aging, certain outcomes are inevitable. Most women report vaginal dryness, urinary incontinence or a lowered libido as they grow older. O-shot is a revolutionary new nonsurgical outpatient treatment that helps improve both urinary incontinence and sexual dysfunction through using a woman's own growth factors. The PRP is injected into specific areas of the vagina with the aid of local anesthetic cream. This modality of treatment is called the “O-shot.” PRP immediately activates tissue regeneration, leading to dramatic alleviation in the symptoms.

PRP is a blood-derived product that contains a high concentration of platelets in plasma. It is derived from the patient’s own blood by a special process of centrifugation and separation.

Platelets contain more than 20 growth factors and play a key role in the body’s natural healing process. Platelet-rich plasma therapy is a revolutionary procedure that uses injections of patient’s own platelet concentrates to accelerate the growth of healthy new cells and healing of injured tissues.

This treatment uses platelets from the blood that are nutrient-rich and have medically proven enhancement abilities. Besides treating vaginal dryness and urinary incontinence, the treatment also stimulates tissue growth and improves the health of your sexual organs, thus contributing to a better sexual experience.

Patients have reported the following post-treatment benefits:

• Decreased urinary incontinence
• Improved vaginal lubrication
• Reduction in pain during intercourse
• Improved libido
• Better vaginal and clitoral sensitivity
• Enhancement of skin on the vulva
• Treatment of lichen sclerosis, which is a condition where the skin on the vulva may itch and this can possibly lead to atrophy

O-Shot has been scientifically proven to be effective intreating several female sexual health disorders. Here are excerpts from a few peer reviewed medical research papers with links:

(1) O-Shot therapy

• PRP use in sexual dysfunction is considered to be a revolutionary new nonsurgical outpatient treatment that helps improve both urinary incontinence and sexual dysfunction through using a woman's own growth factors. The PRP is injected into specific areas of the vagina with the aid of local anesthetic cream. This modality of treatment is called the “O-shot.” PRP immediately activates tissue regeneration, and the enhancement in sexual response is dramatic. The desired response includes improved arousal, stronger orgasm, decreased dyspareunia, and increased natural lubrication.
• Runels et al. enrolled 11 women who presented with dyspareunia. They injected PRP into the clitoris and vagina, and found that intravaginal and intraclitoral PRP injections could be an effective method to treat certain types of female sexual dysfunction, especially in the areas of desire, arousal, lubrication, and orgasm.

(2) Vaginal rejuvenation

• Aesthetic practitioners have used PRP for the regeneration of vaginal mucosa, muscles, and skin. After PRP injection, vaginal vascularity is increased, with a subsequent dramatic increase in sensitivity. In addition, the skin becomes thicker and firmer, making the vagina look much more youthful. Moreover, the ligaments and muscles supporting the urethra become stronger, alleviating urinary incontinence.
• Kim et al. reported the use of PRP in a case of vaginal rejuvenation. They concluded that the application of autologous lipofilling mixed with PRP in a patient with vaginal atrophy produced relief of symptoms and contour restoration. The rejuvenated appearance of the external genitalia provided a pleasing cosmetic outcome to the patient.

During your session, your blood is to be drawn using a venipuncture just like taking a sample for laboratory blood test, for preparation of PRP.

Moving into the main portion of the treatment, your doctor will numb the vaginal (numbing cream and local anesthesia) and inject a certain amount of the PRP into your vaginal region. Although, it may sound scary, the best part of this treatment is that it usually lasts for only about 1 minute.
