Is the P-Shot Safe?
The P-Shot uses your own blood (autologous PRP), which eliminates the risk of allergic reactions or disease transmission. Because no foreign substances are introduced, the safety profile is excellent. Serious complications are extremely rare when the procedure is performed by a qualified practitioner.
Common and Expected Side Effects
Most patients experience mild side effects that resolve within 24–72 hours: temporary swelling or bruising at the injection site, mild discomfort or sensitivity, slight redness. These are normal signs of the healing response and should not cause concern.
Rare but Possible Risks
In rare cases, patients may experience: infection (extremely rare, prevented by sterile technique), asymmetrical swelling (usually resolves within 1–2 weeks), or temporary decreased sensitivity (uncommon, typically resolves). These risks are minimised by choosing a certified clinic with proper protocols.
How to Minimise Side Effects
To minimise side effects: follow all aftercare instructions provided by your doctor, avoid sexual activity for 48–72 hours after treatment, abstain from aspirin/NSAIDs for 5 days before the procedure, and stay hydrated. Our doctors provide a detailed aftercare plan with every procedure.
The P-Shot vs. Other ED Treatments: Side Effect Comparison
Compared to oral medications (like Viagra or Cialis), the P-Shot has no systemic side effects — no headaches, flushing, or vision changes. Compared to penile implants, there is no surgery, anaesthesia risk, or recovery period. The P-Shot's localised, autologous nature makes it one of the lowest-risk ED treatments available.
