Why Do Men Experience Reduced Sensitivity?
Loss of penile sensitivity is more common than widely acknowledged and affects men of all ages. Common causes include nerve damage from diabetes, reduced blood flow due to cardiovascular disease, post-surgical changes (particularly after prostatectomy), and the natural nerve changes that accompany ageing. Reduced sensitivity can significantly impact sexual satisfaction and quality of life.
How PRP Therapy Affects Nerve Tissue
The P-Shot delivers growth factors including PDGF, VEGF, and NGF (Nerve Growth Factor) directly into penile tissue. These factors have been shown in studies to stimulate Schwann cell activity, which is central to peripheral nerve repair and regeneration. Over 8–12 weeks, patients often report a gradual restoration of sensitivity as nerve pathways are repaired and new microvascular networks form.
What Patients Report After Treatment
In patient surveys and clinical follow-ups, increased sensitivity is one of the most consistently reported improvements after P-Shot treatment. Many patients describe heightened sensation during sexual activity within 4–6 weeks, with maximum improvement at 8–12 weeks. This improvement in sensitivity is particularly pronounced in post-diabetic patients and those with age-related sensation loss.
Managing Expectations for Sensitivity Restoration
While the P-Shot consistently improves sensitivity for many patients, the extent of restoration depends on the degree and cause of sensitivity loss. Nerve damage caused by surgical injury or long-term diabetes may be more resistant than functional sensitivity loss from poor vascular health. In cases of severe nerve damage, the P-Shot may improve sensation partially rather than fully restoring pre-injury levels.
