Are there any negative side effects to drawing 60cc's for the P Shot?

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

There is no harm in drawing 60 cc of blood, and in fact, that is the standard when it comes to the Priapus Shot. The P-Shot protocol, which is widely recognized as the most trusted and effective technique in PRP therapy for ED, involves a minimum injection of 10 cc of PRP. To get 10 cc of PRP, we typically need at least 360 cc of blood. This can vary based on a few factors, like the quality of the plasma centrifuge used, but if done right, the blood draw will likely average 360 cc either way. This is, however, completely safe. For context, a standard blood test can require 30 cc of blood, and a standard blood donation typically involves more than 400 cc.
