Question from Tracy in Grand Haven, Michigan. My friend told me I should get the O-Shot, but I am scared. Do I really need that? That's a great question. So I actually perform O-Shots in my local location in Spring Lake, Michigan, and the women who get them rave about them. They love the O-Shot. So what the heck is the O-Shot? The O-Shot stands for orgasm shot. What we do is we draw a little bit of your blood out of your arm, like a regular blood draw. We put it in a centrifuge machine, we spin it down, and we draw up just the platelet-rich plasma, which is short for PRP. Platelet-rich plasma has all the brand new little cells that are floating around in your blood on its way to go do their job somewhere in your body to heal and regenerate and restore. And so we take all those brand new little cells and we inject it directly into the hood of the clitoris and the G-spot, which is a bundle of nerves about a third of the way into the anterior vagina under your urethra and bladder area. So this is an awesome Procedure. I'm just going to tell you, we in the medical world use PRP for many different things. We inject PRP into joints to help regeneration. We inject it into the scalp for hair growth, and we inject it into the penis as well for better erection. So what happens is all those brand new little cells. Go in and they help regenerate the nerves. So normally, just the aging process can start to damage our nerves. Our nerves are cells that send signals through electrical activity and chemical activity, and they are coated in a sheath. If you've ever seen wires in your house, They have a coating on them. They are covered in a white plastic sheath or red plastic sheath or black or whatever. You know, you'd have to ask the electrician what that's about. But our nerves also have this sheath coating and covering so the signal doesn't get disrupted as it's trying to go through the nerves from one nerve to the next. But the aging process through our poor diet, our lifestyle, our deficiencies damages that sheath, that protective coating called myelin. And having a huge amount of that destroyed or missing is actually what is the basis of multiple sclerosis. So it's a real thing. It happens. But on a microscopic Small scale, what can happen is our nerves can have trouble sending their signals and getting those to give the end result. So through the aging process, through the pregnancies, through the physical trauma of delivering babies, the nerves in our pelvis get destroyed or damaged, and the O shot sends in brand new cells to repair those nerves. And that tissue, and so if you are struggling to get sensation down there, you have decreased sensation, or your sensation's okay, but you can never reach a climax. You can't orgasm. That's usually because your nerves are a little bit damaged, or you have a little bit of leakage of urine with laughing, coughing, sneezing, jumping on the trampoline, doing. Jumping jacks or lifting weights, things like that, because the nerves that are innervating your bladder that are telling it what to do and not to do aren't functioning at their best capacity. There's a little bit of damage. And so the O-Shot helps with all of that. Okay. So if you are struggling with any of this stuff, the O-Shot is the key. And I recommend to women that they get at least 3 of them about 4 to 6 weeks apart. It takes 4 to 6 weeks for those cells to start regenerating and repairing that tissue and those nerves. And so you don't necessarily get the full effect of it right away, but you get an amazing compounding effect when you do more than one O-Shot. And all right, she was freaking out because she was worried it was going to be painful. And it is not at all. Even though that's like one of our more sensitive areas, we take numbing cream, we put it on for 20 to 40 minutes, and then we even take a tiny little needle as thick as a piece of hair and inject some lidocaine. But even that at It's worst is like the tiniest little pinch. It is not a painful procedure at all. And so don't let that make your decision whatsoever because it's really not a painful procedure. It's pretty painless. And then you just have the downtime of that day. You shouldn't do any high-intensity activity like power walking or anything to irritate that area because You just want that to calm down over a few hours, but it's so non-invasive. It's so easy to do. And the benefits are huge. So it's totally worth the short little time, a half hour or whatever, and the investment because it could reestablish your intimate relationship, right? If that's an issue for you, I would encourage you to consider getting the O-Shot. Or if you aren't going to the gym and working out because you're worried about peeing your pants, all of these things there are treatments for. So that was a great question. I'm so glad you asked. I love the O-Shot. I think everybody should get it. You don't have to be a certain age. You don't have to be menopausal. I have patients in their 20s and 30s. I've had patients who just had babies. Patients who've never had babies, patients who had their babies by C-section, patients who are menopausal. Like literally the O-Shot is for everybody. Everybody could only benefit from getting that tissue and those nerves into a healthier state down there. So I hope that was helpful for you. I thought it was an awesome question. See you again soon.
