What to Expect During Your O-Shot® Appointment
If you’re considering the O-Shot® to help with urine leakage, enhance sexual wellness, or rejuvenate sensitive tissue, you may be curious about what the appointment will entail. The O-Shot® is a straightforward, minimally invasive procedure that uses PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) from your own blood to promote natural healing and tissue regeneration. Here’s a look at each step of the appointment, so you know exactly what to expect and feel fully prepared.
1. Consultation and Preparation
Your O-Shot® appointment typically begins with a brief consultation, even if you’ve already discussed the procedure. This is an opportunity for you to share any last-minute questions or concerns, review your health history, and ensure the O-Shot® aligns with your specific goals. Your provider will explain how PRP works, what benefits you can expect, and go over each step of the treatment.
After the consultation, your provider will prepare for the procedure. A small amount of your blood will be drawn, just like a standard blood test. This sample is then processed in a centrifuge to separate the PRP, the concentrated portion of blood rich in growth factors.
2. Numbing for Comfort
To ensure you’re comfortable, a numbing cream is applied to the targeted area, usually between the anterior vaginal wall and the urethra, where the PRP will be injected. This helps to minimize any potential discomfort, allowing you to relax during the treatment. The numbing cream typically takes about 15-20 minutes to take full effect.
Many patients find that the numbing process makes the procedure easy and relatively pain-free, helping them feel at ease.
3. Preparing and Injecting the PRP
Once the numbing cream has taken effect, the concentrated PRP is drawn into a fine needle for injection. Using the prepared PRP, your provider will then carefully inject the PRP into the specified area. This injection is done with precision to ensure optimal placement for the best results.
Most women report feeling minimal discomfort during this part of the procedure, thanks to the numbing cream and the small needle used.
4. Post-Treatment Care and What to Expect Next
Immediately after the procedure, you may notice a slight sensation of fullness or warmth in the area, which is normal and temporary. Some women resume their usual activities the same day, as the O-Shot® doesn’t typically require downtime. Your provider will go over post-treatment care, which may include avoiding sexual activity for a day or two to allow the PRP to settle and begin working.
Your provider may schedule a follow-up appointment for around three months after your treatment. This is to check on your progress, discuss the benefits you’re experiencing, and answer any additional questions. PRP works gradually, so many women see the most significant results developing over the next few weeks to months.
