The shot heard round the world.
Only this time the revolution is on behalf of modern women. The O-Shot, a new, noninvasive treatment that aims to alleviate female sexual dysfunction and incontinence by extracting PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, from a woman's own blood and injecting it directly into the vaginal area.
Dr. Charles Runels, an Alabama cosmetic doctor (who's better known as the creator of the Vampire Facial Therapy, made famous when Kim Kardashian had the procedure done on TV), explains, the O-Shot uses PRP to stimulate the growth of new cells in a woman's vaginal walls and clitoris. The platelets, which the body utilizes to naturally generate tissue, increase not only the number of cells but also, Runels claims, sensitivity to stimulation.
Runels says that he was inspired by the array of treatments available for men dealing with sexual problems—with everything from Viagra to penile implants as a remedy—and the glaring void when it came to female sexual dysfunction, even though more than 40 percent of American women are estimated to suffer from it. There was nothing similar for women, recalls Samuel Wood, a San Diego reproductive endocrinologist who began a clinical trial on the procedure in 2011. Now he and Runels are hopeful that the in-office treatment, which takes about 20-30 minutes and can be done only by a certified doctor, nurse-practitioner, or physician assistant will be the answer both for those women and for others looking to boost a less than satisfying sex life.
Take Nadia, 39, a mother of three who found sex with her fiancé lacking. In her younger days, she says, "I was turned on whenever the guy was," but by her late 30s, getting to that same level of arousal "required so much foreplay, I was ready to give up." Though she tried over-the-counter lubricants, she complained that they didn't last. When she heard about the O-Shot, she decided to give it a try. She says she now has an orgasm every time she has sex, "stronger ones than I used to have when I was younger."
Similarly, Gail, 53, has been married for 20 years and had resigned herself to lackluster, once-a-month lovemaking. "I wasn't really aroused no matter what we did," she says, so when her nurse-practitioner suggested the shot, she was more than willing. The result? She noticed an immediate effect, and she returned home from work that day ready to go. Whereas before, she'd fake orgasms and felt "inadequate," she now looks forward to sex.
