Erectile Dysfunction (ED) Treatments: P-Shot vs. Oral Medications

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common health concern for men that can impact confidence, intimacy, and overall quality of life. Fortunately, there are a variety of effective treatments available suited to best fit your needs and overall health. At Lowcountry Male, we offer both oral ED medications and the innovative Priapus Shot (P-Shot).

While both options can help improve your sexual performance, they work in very different ways. With the support of our clinical staff and your healthcare physician, understanding the differences will allow you to make more informed decisions.

How the Treatments Work

At Lowcountry Male, the oral ED medications we offer are Sildenafil (Viagra), Vardenafil, and Tadalafil. By increasing nitric oxide, these medications work to improve blood circulation, resulting in firmer, longer-lasting erections and enhanced sexual performance.

The P-Shot uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP), derived from your own blood. PRP contains natural growth factors that add firmness, intensify erections, and generally improve sexual health. Unlike oral medications, the P-shot is better equipped for long-term erections, penile health, and regenerative function.

Onset of Results

The different ED oral medications have different onset times:

Viagra (Sildenafil) typically takes effect within an hour and usually lasts for three to four hours
Tadalafil must be taken 30 minutes before sexual activity or continuously as directed by your doctor
Vardeafil must be taken 30 minutes to an hour before sexual activity and lasts up to 4-5 hours.

The P-Shot results vary from man to man. In many cases, it is not a one-time treatment and often requires a series of P-Shot injections spaced over several months to achieve and maintain the desired results. While this approach takes more time, the benefits may last 12-18 months after a single treatment cycle.

100% natural since you’re using your own plasma

Side Effects & Considerations

Oral medications:

Some men may experience side effects such as headaches, flushing, nasal congestion, or dizziness. If you have certain heart conditions or are taking nitrates, these medications might not be safe. Always discuss your medical history with a provider before use.

P-Shot:

Because the P-Shot uses your own plasma, it is considered a low-risk treatment. Mild soreness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site may occur, but serious complications are rare when handled by a qualified professional.

Which Option is Right for You?

The decision depends on your health history, goals, and overall lifestyle.

Oral medications may be a good option if you want an as-needed solution with fast results.
The P-Shot may be better suited if you want a regenerative, long-term approach to improving erectile function and overall sexual wellness.

In some cases, a combined approach could provide the best outcome.
