Hello, I am doing a bit of research on the Priapus Shot treatment. Are there any negative side effects to drawing 60cc's of blood for the prp shot and is it possible to request this from a practitioner?
Answer: Blood draw volume for the P Shot Thanks for your question. We have performed the P Shot since 2015. We use a "high volume" PRP kit meaning we routinely draw 60 or 120 ml of blood and have never had any adverse outcomes/events. The volume of blood draw is critical to the best outcomes from the procedure. We participated in research in this whereby we measured the patient's platelet count through a fingerstick and used a specially formulated computer program to determine based on that platelet count what the ideal blood draw volume would be to get the best level of platelets in the PRP. We did this because there is a certain minimum platelet count you want in order for the PRP to have the best angiogenic effect (creating new blood vessels). This research showed us time and time again that the 120 ml blood draw was the winner in producing the desired platelet count in the final PRP (which we also tested and documented!). Our results have been consistently rewarding. The process is called the Transcend Customized PRP Protocol. We use the Emcyte Pure PRP II kits which are one of the best in the industry and have both the 60 ml and 120 ml options. Hope that helps!

Answer: Are there any negative side effects to drawing 60cc's for the P Shot There are no negative effects from drawing 60 cc’s of blood for a P - Shot. The issue is, different PRP tubes that go into the PRP centrifuge mostly are 30 cc tubes or less. There is one centrifuge that has 60 cc tubes and that is the Magellan. There might be others I’m not aware of , but if you want 60cc’s of blood drawn you need to check with the clinic you are going to what type of centrifuge they have.

Answer: Not at all Drawing up 60 cc's of blood for the P Shot is safe. There are no side effects to drawing 60ccs of blood. PRP therapy involves injecting a concentration of platelets from your own blood into your body for healing. The benefits of this treatment on sexual performance may be attributed to increased blood flow and repair responses in some tissue or cells

Answer: No 60cc will not hurt you It does not harm you in anyway if the practitioner wants to draw 60cc of blood from you in order to do your P shot. This is a common practice among providers when giving a P shot to ensure that you have enough PRP to perform the shot. However, it is up to the discretion and set up of the office providing the P shot on whether or not they think they need that much blood or if they are set up to process 60cc of blood for a P shot. You will have to ask your practitioner how they do their P Shots and if they are set up to do 60cc of blood for your PRP. Good luck, I hope this helps.

Answer: 60cc is minimal compared to the body's overall blood volume. The amount of blood drawn for a P-Shot—typically 60cc (or 60mL)—is minimal compared to the body's overall blood volume. The average adult has about 5 liters (5000mL) of blood, so 60cc represents only about 1.2% of total blood volume. For comparison: A standard blood donation is around 450–470mL, significantly more than what’s needed for the P-Shot. Routine lab tests, like a CBC or CMP, use about 10mL each, with even a large panel rarely exceeding 60mL in total. Drawing 60cc for the P-Shot is generally considered safe, especially for healthy adults, as it’s well within the body’s tolerance. This amount allows providers to concentrate enough platelets in the PRP to maximize treatment benefits without causing any noticeable impact on your overall blood volumegood
