After the Priapus Shot® procedure, you are asked to use the pump to stimulate and exercise the penis and to stimulate the healing factors to proliferate. Use the device for a minimum of 10 minutes at a pressure of 7 – 10 twice daily for a minimum of 6 weeks. This is especially important if you are desiring an increase in length or girth of the penis. The more you use the device the better. You may continue daily or weekly use indefinitely for continued benefit. If size is not a primary concern and you are having the Priapus® Shot only for other reasons, then the desired result may be achieved with less pump usage (10 minutes daily at a pressure of 7 – 10 for a minimum of 2 weeks).
Dr. Morunga will thoroughly review your medical history. You will have an opportunity to ask questions should you have any. Once you have been evaluated and it has been determined that you are a candidate for the Priapus Shot® procedure. You will be given proper information to consent to the procedure. A topical numbing cream is applied to the injection area. Your blood is then drawn and prepared. Once your PRP is ready, Dr. Morunga will inject the PRP into a few specific areas of the penis. The entire process including consultation takes approximately 60 minutes.
Most men are quite comfortable during the procedure. The discomfort is often described as a mild pinch or sometime a bit of mild pressure. The numbing feeling from the numbing medicine may last 30-60 minutes after the procedure.
There are typically no side effects or downtime. Occasionally there is a brief period of mild soreness, typically lasting less than a day. There may be a few drops of blood from the injection site. You can return to work, exercise and do any other activity you wish on the same day (this includes sexual activity).
Initially there will be a volume increase from the combination of the platelets and the serum (or water) in the blood plus all the growth factors in the water that the activated platelets are starting to release.
Then over the next three days some of the water is absorbed by the body. Then there is the growth of new tissue that continues for at least 12 weeks. So, volume goes up immediately, then goes down to various degrees but slowly over the next three days.
In some people this decrease in volume is very small, in others it is a more noticeable decrease. Smokers have the least amount of growth. As for sexual function, some men report immediate results, however realistically, most men should expect about 4 weeks to pass before they notice any significant improvements. The Priapus shot will work best if a man has his hormones (particularly ) well balanced, we recommend referral to an Endocrinologist to manage this.
Dr. Morunga would like to have a follow up consultation 6 weeks after your procedure. He would like to know the benefits that you may have experienced from having the Priapus Shot®. If necessary, plan for further care will be considered at that time.
Some men choose to have a 2nd Priapus Shot® for various reasons (including simple progression of the normal aging process). You may have a 2nd Priapus Shot® after 8 weeks should you desire. The majority of men have improved function after one Priapus Shot®, but they will sometimes decide to do another for additional benefit. While this is a very new procedure, there is some evidence to suggest that a second injection at 4 to 8 weeks may cause another growth spurt and more improvement in sexual function.
There is no limit to the number of Priapus Shots® a man can have safely. Evaluation by a certified doctor to perform the P Shot is necessary to determine potential risk and benefit.
