What to Expect During the Procedure
Getting the O-shot is a simple, painless, non-surgical procedure that only takes a few minutes. Here is what a person should expect when they go in for their appointment:
- The doctor will make sure that their patient is well hydrated before they draw blood
- They will proceed to apply topical numbing cream to the genitals, specifically at the site of the two injections
- As they wait for the numbing cream to take effect, the doctor will draw the patient’s blood
- Once the genital area is numb, the doctor will inject the patient with a local anesthetic
- As they wait for the anesthetic to kick in, the doctor will extract platelet-rich plasma from the patient’s blood using a medical centrifuge
- By this time, the clitoris and vagina will be completely without sensation. The doctor will inject the PRP near both these areas
And that is pretty much it. The anesthetic should take a few hours to wear off. The doctor will direct the patient to avoid sex for about three days. The person may experience a little discomfort when they urinate, but this should clear up in about 24 hours after the procedure.
