Question 1

Is GentShot the same as the P-Shot?

Accepted Answer

Yes — same category of procedure. GentShot is GentsMed's brand name for penile platelet-rich plasma (PRP), also referred to clinically as intracavernosal PRP. Other clinics market the same procedure under the "P-Shot" or "Priapus Shot" trade name. We use the GentShot name because every provider in our network performs it under a consistent, network-wide PRP preparation and injection standard — not a free-form interpretation.

Question 2

Does GentShot actually work?

Accepted Answer

The honest answer: the evidence is genuinely mixed. Small observational studies and case series report patient-reported improvements in firmness and sensitivity. Larger placebo-controlled trials are sparse, and the International Society for Sexual Medicine has issued cautious guidance that PRP for ED remains investigational. A reasonable expectation: some men report meaningful improvement, others see no change, and we cannot reliably predict who will respond. It is not a substitute for established treatments in moderate-to-severe vasculogenic ED.

Question 3

How long do GentShot results last?

Accepted Answer

When patients do respond, the effects typically develop over 4–8 weeks and last 12–18 months. Maintenance treatments every 12–18 months are common. Some patients describe a "one-and-done" response that lasts longer; others find they need more frequent repeat dosing. There's individual variation we don't fully understand.

Question 4

Is GentShot painful?

Accepted Answer

The injection itself is fast and small-gauge. With proper local anesthesia (topical numbing + local field block), most men report mild discomfort rather than pain — typically a brief pressure sensation. The blood draw is the part most patients say felt longer than the injection.

Question 5

How is GentShot different from PDE5 inhibitors?

Accepted Answer

PDE5 inhibitors (sildenafil, tadalafil) are pharmaceuticals you take before sex — they amplify the normal erection response on-demand. GentShot is a one-time procedure (with periodic repeats) aimed at improving baseline tissue function so erections work better overall. They are complementary, not competing. Many men do well combining a regular PDE5 protocol with periodic GentShot maintenance, and both classes target different aspects of the problem.

Question 6

How many GentShot sessions will I need?

Accepted Answer

Most protocols start with a single session and reassess at 6–8 weeks. If there's improvement, maintenance is typically every 12–18 months. Some clinicians do a series of 2–3 sessions spaced a few weeks apart as the initial protocol. There's no consensus on the optimal regimen because the underlying evidence base is small. Your provider should explain their specific protocol and the rationale.
