What is O-Shot vaginal rejuvenation and tightening?
The O-Shot (Orgasm Shot) involves injecting platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from your blood into the vaginal area to potentially enhance sensation, lubrication, and mild tightening. Research is ongoing, and evidence for vaginal tightening is limited.
Detailed Medical Explanation
The O-Shot uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP), derived from a sample of your own blood, injected into areas such as the vaginal wall and clitoris. PRP contains growth factors thought to promote tissue regeneration and increase blood flow. Some women report enhanced sexual arousal, lubrication, and mild tightening. However, scientific evidence for O-Shot’s effectiveness in vaginal tightening is limited, and results vary. The procedure is minimally invasive with little downtime, but possible side effects include pain, swelling, or infection. Research review in PMC.
Clinical Context
The O-Shot is considered for women seeking improvements in arousal, mild incontinence, and vaginal health, particularly when other treatments are unsuitable. It should only be offered in regulated medical settings by trained professionals.
Evidence-Based Approaches
Some studies and patient reports show improved satisfaction and comfort, but robust randomised clinical trials are lacking. Regulatory bodies urge women to discuss expectations and risks before treatment. NHS Guidance.
