What Is the P-Shot® (Priapus Shot)?
The P-Shot® (Priapus Shot) injects concentrated PRP from your own blood into penile tissue. It is used for erectile concerns, and research is limited.
Erections depend on healthy blood flow and nerve function. In the P-Shot® procedure, a small blood sample is spun in a centrifuge to concentrate platelets, and the resulting PRP is injected into penile tissue. PRP uses your own blood, but that does not guarantee it will work. Studies in erectile dysfunction are small and results have been mixed. Erectile difficulty can also signal heart disease, diabetes or low testosterone, so a physician assessment comes first.
Erectile Concerns
PRP is being studied for erectile dysfunction. Small studies have reported mixed results, and it is not an established standard treatment.
Peyronie's Disease
PRP is sometimes considered for penile curvature from Peyronie's disease. Evidence is limited, and other treatments may be more appropriate.
Individual Response
Responses differ widely. Some men notice a change and others do not. Claims about size are not supported, and none are made here.
How PRP Is Prepared
PRP is made from a sample of your own blood. Platelets release growth factors involved in tissue repair, and PRP concentrates them. Whether this improves erectile function is still being studied.
Blood Collection
A small blood sample is taken from your arm, like a routine blood test.
PRP Preparation
A centrifuge separates and concentrates the platelets from the red blood cells.
Injection
After the area is numbed, the PRP is injected into penile tissue by the physician.
Healing Over Time
Any effect is thought to develop gradually over weeks. Your physician reviews your response at follow-up.

A Physician-Led Men's Health Assessment
Erectile concerns can involve circulation, hormones, medications and mental health. We assess the whole picture before recommending any procedure.
Physician Assessment First
Dr. Jiang reviews your history and discusses causes, options and the limits of the evidence before any injection is considered.
Hormone Check
Low testosterone can contribute to erectile concerns. We can check your hormone levels, and where clinically appropriate discuss testosterone therapy as a separate treatment.
Pelvic Floor Options
Emsella® electromagnetic pelvic floor training is sometimes discussed alongside other care. Evidence for this use is limited, and results vary.
Privacy
Men's sexual health consultations are handled discreetly, and your records are kept under the same privacy standards as all patient records.
Where PRP Is Injected
Your physician decides where to inject based on your concern and examination.
Erectile Tissue (Corpus Cavernosum)
The main erectile chambers, where blood flow supports an erection.
Glans (Head of the Penis)
A nerve-rich area that may be included in the injection plan.
Peyronie's Plaque Area

P-Shot® Questions Answered
What is the P-Shot®, and does it work?+
The P-Shot® injects platelet-rich plasma (PRP), prepared from your own blood, into penile tissue. It is used for erectile concerns, but the research is limited. Small studies have shown mixed results, so it is not an established standard treatment. Results vary, and no outcome is guaranteed. A physician assessment comes first.
What are the risks and side effects?+
Possible effects include pain, bruising, swelling, temporary changes in sensation and, rarely, infection or scarring. Because PRP is made from your own blood, allergic reaction is unlikely, but other risks remain. Your physician reviews them with you before you decide.
Does the injection hurt?+
Numbing is applied beforehand, and most men describe pressure or mild to moderate discomfort. Pain tolerance differs between people. Your physician explains the numbing options at your consultation.
Who should not have the P-Shot®?+
It is generally not recommended with an active infection or inflammatory skin condition in the area, a platelet or bleeding disorder, anticoagulant therapy that cannot be paused, or severe Peyronie's disease that may need surgical assessment. Your physician decides after reviewing your history.
Is there downtime, and when might I notice a change?+
Most men resume normal daily activities the same day, though temporary redness, swelling or bruising is possible. If there is any effect, it is expected to develop gradually over weeks, and your physician reviews your response at follow-up. Some men notice no change.
Is the P-Shot® available at your Richmond, BC clinic?+
Yes, after a physician consultation. RAAC is at Unit 110, 5580 No. 3 Road, Richmond, BC, about a 3-minute walk from Lansdowne Station on the Canada Line (building parking via Ackroyd Road). Consultations are confidential and available in English, Mandarin and Cantonese. We are open daily from 9:00 to 18:00.
Can the P-Shot® increase size?+
The P-Shot® is not a size treatment, and there is no reliable evidence that it increases size. It should not be chosen for that purpose.
Can it be combined with testosterone therapy or Emsella®?+
When clinically appropriate, your physician may discuss testosterone therapy, which is a separate prescription treatment with its own risks, or Emsella®. Evidence for combinations is limited. Individual results vary.
Is the P-Shot® covered by BC MSP or private insurance?+
No. The P-Shot® is a private procedure not covered by BC MSP. Some extended health plans may cover part of related consultation or blood-test costs. We provide itemized receipts, and you should check your own plan. Costs are explained at your consultation.
Does it help erectile dysfunction caused by diabetes?+
Diabetes can damage blood vessels and nerves and contribute to erectile dysfunction. There is not enough evidence to say whether PRP helps in this situation. Managing blood sugar and seeing your doctor about other treatment options are important first steps.
How long do any results last, and is repeat treatment needed?+
There is no reliable data on how long any effect lasts. Some clinics suggest repeat sessions, but this is based on limited evidence. Your physician discusses whether repeat treatment is reasonable after reviewing your response.
Should I see my family doctor first?+
Yes, we recommend it. Erectile difficulty can be an early sign of heart disease, diabetes or other conditions, and your family doctor can check these and discuss the full range of treatments.
