Hello Interloper!

Careful discussions regarding your reasons for wanting Platelet Rich Plasma therapy for sexual rejuvenation are very important. You must also make sure that this treatment can deliver what you want and how you would like to feel afterwards. Your practitioner should be able to answer all these questions.A full medical history should also be taken to make sure that there are no reasons why you shouldn’t undertake this treatment. You may be asked to sign a consent form which means that you have understood the potential benefits and risks associated with the procedure.A numbing cream (topical local anaesthetic) will be applied to the areas that are going to be injected. A small amount of blood (10-20ml) is drawn from your arm, in much the same way as a blood test is performed in a GP’s surgery. This sample is then spun in a centrifuge using a sterile pack that ensures safety. What follows next will depend on the specific PRP technique and system used. For some practices, after centrifuging, the PRP must be activated by the addition of calcium chloride or gluconate to initiate the fibrin clotting process. The platelet rich matrix must then be used within 10-12 minutes before it solidifies. The PRP will be injected into the erogenous areas. For women, this may include injections into the clitoris and vaginal wall, or just into the vaginal wall, depending on the diagnosis. In men, the injections are made into the penis, into the two sponge like cylinders of tissue in the shaft of the penis, known as the corpus cavernous.Initial treatments may take between 40-60 minutes. Usually one treatment is considered enough, but in some cases, you may be recommended to have another treatment approximately 4 to 8 weeks after the first. This is to initiate another healing and growth factor cascade into the area for an increased result, depending on the application of the treatment. You may then wish to have top-up treatments over the coming years. Results are expected to last up to 1.5 years, but each patient is different and results achievable will vary per individual, dependent on the symptoms treated and the age of the person. Photographs may also be taken by the practitioner for a "before and after" comparison later, particularly for men, if erectile problems or penile abnormalities are being treated. A questionnaire on sexual health may also be completed at different time frames to assess and analyse the effectiveness of the treatment.
