Boost Your Sex Life with the O-Shot: All Your Questions Answered

Having a great sex life does more than just make you feel good. It can make you happier and healthier, too. Having great sex relieves stress, boosts your immune system, helps you sleep, and reduces anxiety and depression. 

Unfortunately, many women don’t have great sex. One study found that 50% of middle-aged women are unsatisfied with their sex life. 

Fortunately, board-certified urogynecologist Dr. Jeffrey Hantes at Female Health Associates of North Texas can help you have better sex. Here, he explains how the O-Shot ® can help boost your sex life. 

What is the O-shot?

The O-Shot, also called the Orgasm Shot, uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to help relieve vaginal dryness and enhance sexual pleasure. PRP is derived from the part of your own blood that contains growth and healing factors.

This shot of growth factors is injected into areas of your vagina. It can boost collagen production, increase blood flow, and enhance nerve endings. These effects may result in increased sensitivity and lubrication, which can lead to more frequent and stronger orgasms.

Am I a good candidate for the O-Shot?

As women get older, they may experience vaginal dryness, lack of sexual interest, and urinary incontinence. During the menopause transition, many women experience painful sex. At any age, some women may not enjoy sex or have trouble achieving orgasm.

If you have issues related to vaginal health and sexual satisfaction, you may be a good candidate for the O-Shot. The O-Shot may help increase lubrication, sexual arousal, and pleasure. It may also reduce urinary incontinence and pain with sex.

Will the shot hurt?

No, the O-Shot does not hurt. Before the injection, Dr. Hantes provides a local anesthetic to numb the injection site, ensuring a pain-free procedure. 

What happens after the procedure?

After the procedure occurs and the anesthetic wears off, you may feel some slight discomfort and bruising at the injection site, as with any injection, which should dissipate within a few hours to a couple of days. 

Unlike surgery, there’s no downtime. You can resume all normal activities, including sex, after you return home. 

When will I start having better sex?

Good sex is part mental and part physical. The physical benefit can take a few weeks to a few months to occur. Within the first week, you may experience increased sensation and sensitivity in the treated area. 

Within a few weeks, your body will build new tissue. The full benefits, which include increased lubrication and arousal and bigger and better orgasms, are usually achieved within three months. 

The good news is that the mental benefits also improve along with the physical ones. This leads to better sexual confidence and improved sexual experiences.
