This is not a topic that comes up easily. Between reviewing labs and managing prescriptions during a routine appointment, most people never find the moment to say what they are actually experiencing: things have changed. Intimacy feels different. My body is not responding the way it used to. I feel disconnected from a part of myself I used to take for granted.
If that resonates, we want you to know something important: you are not alone, this is not inevitable, and there are options that go far beyond resignation or the vague advice to simply accept it as part of aging.
Sexual health changes, including those in arousal, function, sensation, lubrication, and satisfaction, are among the most underreported and undertreated concerns in adult medicine. Not because they cannot be addressed, but because the stigma and discomfort around discussing them keeps many people from ever asking the question.
At Evolve Medical, we approach these conversations with clinical precision, complete confidentiality, and genuine compassion. And we have tools that work.
Why Sexual Health Changes with Age and Hormonal Shifts
Sexual wellness is deeply connected to hormonal balance, vascular health, and the structural integrity of genital tissue. When any of these change, the effects on intimacy can be significant.
For women, the hormonal transitions of perimenopause and menopause involve a meaningful reduction in estrogen and progesterone. These hormones play central roles in vaginal lubrication, tissue elasticity and thickness, clitoral and vaginal sensitivity, and arousal response. As estrogen declines, vaginal tissue becomes thinner and less elastic, a condition called genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM). Lubrication decreases. Sensitivity may diminish. Intercourse becomes uncomfortable or painful. Stress urinary incontinence, that unexpected leak when you laugh, cough, or sneeze, often intensifies as pelvic floor tissue loses its tone.
For men, declining testosterone, a gradual process that begins in the mid-30s and accelerates with age, affects libido, the quality and reliability of erections, sexual stamina, and overall confidence. Cardiovascular factors, metabolic conditions like insulin resistance, and chronic stress compound the picture over time, creating a complex interplay that no single pill can fully address.
These changes are physiological. They have biological causes and, in many cases, biological solutions.
The O-Shot: Regenerative PRP Therapy for Women
The O-Shot, formally the Orgasm Shot, is a PRP-based treatment designed to rejuvenate vaginal and clitoral tissue from within. It was developed by Dr. Charles Runels and has been used by physicians worldwide to address a range of sexual wellness concerns in women.
Here is how it works: a small amount of blood is drawn from your arm and processed in a centrifuge to produce Platelet-Rich Plasma, a concentration of your own growth factors. A topical numbing agent is applied thoroughly to the treatment area. Once you are comfortable, the PRP is injected into specific anatomical locations, specifically the anterior vaginal wall and the clitoral complex, using a very fine needle. The growth factors then stimulate tissue regeneration, improve local blood flow, support the development of new nerve endings, and enhance the structural integrity of the treated tissue.
Women who receive the O-Shot commonly report:
- Increased clitoral and vaginal sensitivity
- Improved natural lubrication and reduced dryness
- More frequent or more intense orgasms
- Reduced or eliminated discomfort during intercourse
- Improvement in stress urinary incontinence
- Greater overall sexual satisfaction and confidence
Results develop over two to four weeks as tissue remodeling progresses, with many patients experiencing continued improvement over three months following treatment. Some patients benefit from a second treatment at six months to extend and deepen results.
The P-Shot: Regenerative PRP Therapy for Men
The P-Shot, formally the Priapus Shot, applies the same PRP regenerative approach to male sexual wellness. Growth factors are injected into specific areas of the penis following thorough local anesthetic, stimulating new tissue growth, improving penile blood flow, and enhancing sensitivity.
Men who receive the P-Shot report:
- Improved erectile quality, meaning firmer and more reliable erections
- Increased penile sensitivity and sensation during intimacy
- Enhanced sexual performance and stamina
- Potential improvement in penile curvature associated with Peyronie’s disease
- Increased confidence and reduction in performance anxiety
The procedure is performed under local anesthetic and takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes. Most men find it significantly more comfortable than anticipated. There is no meaningful downtime, and sexual activity can typically resume within a few days.
Pairing with PT-141 Peptide Therapy
For both men and women, we may recommend PT-141 (Bremelanotide) as a complement to PRP sexual wellness treatments. PT-141 is a peptide that acts on melanocortin receptors in the central nervous system to enhance sexual desire and arousal, addressing the neurological dimension of sexual wellness that PRP alone does not directly target.
Unlike medications that work primarily through vascular mechanisms (such as PDE5 inhibitors), PT-141 works through the brain’s desire pathways. It is effective for both men and women, and many patients find it particularly valuable when low libido is a primary concern alongside physical changes.
Used together, PRP addresses the tissue, vascular, and nerve-level components of sexual function while PT-141 supports the desire and arousal response. The combination creates the most complete treatment picture.

The Role of Hormone Therapy
Sexual health concerns very often have a hormonal component that, when left unaddressed, limits how much regenerative therapy alone can achieve. If estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, or thyroid imbalances are contributing to your symptoms, addressing them alongside PRP can significantly improve and sustain outcomes.
Evolve Medical offers comprehensive hormone therapy programs for both men and women. Many of our sexual wellness patients find that combining hormone optimization with PRP and peptide therapy produces the most complete and lasting transformation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this treatment completely private and confidential?
Absolutely. Every conversation and every treatment at Evolve Medical is fully confidential. Our staff is experienced in sexual wellness care and has been trained to create an environment of clinical professionalism and human dignity. You will never feel judged here.
Is the O-Shot or P-Shot painful?
We use topical and local anesthetic to thoroughly numb the treatment area before any injection. Most patients are genuinely surprised by how comfortable the procedure is. We move at your pace and check in throughout the treatment.
How soon will I notice a difference?
Many patients notice initial changes within two to four weeks following treatment. Full results, as the tissue remodeling process completes, develop over approximately three months. A follow-up treatment at six months can enhance and extend the outcomes.
Can these treatments be combined with other care?
Yes, and we often recommend it. PRP sexual wellness treatments work well alongside hormone optimization, peptide therapy, and lifestyle interventions that support vascular and metabolic health. Our providers will assess your full clinical picture and design a plan that addresses all the relevant factors.
Who is a good candidate?
Any adult experiencing changes in sexual function, sensation, lubrication, desire, or who is struggling with stress urinary incontinence may benefit from these treatments. Our providers will review your health history and goals during a private consultation to determine the most appropriate approach.
