The O-Shot is a natural, non-surgical procedure that can help restore bladder control and improve quality of life. If you’re struggling with bladder leaks, you’re not alone. Millions of women experience urinary incontinence, whether it’s occasional leaks when laughing or sneezing (stress incontinence) or the sudden, overwhelming urge to go (urge incontinence). While there are many treatment options available, one lesser-known but highly effective approach is the O-Shot.
What is the O-Shot?
The O-Shot, or Orgasm Shot, is an innovative treatment that uses Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) from your own blood to rejuvenate tissue and improve function in the vaginal and urethral area. While often associated with enhancing sexual pleasure, the O-Shot has shown remarkable benefits for urinary incontinence as well.
How Does the O-Shot Help with Incontinence?
The growth factors in PRP stimulate tissue repair and increase collagen production, which can strengthen the pelvic floor and improve bladder control. This can help women dealing with:
- Stress Incontinence: Leaking when sneezing, coughing, laughing, or exercising due to weakened pelvic muscles.
- Urge Incontinence: The sudden, frequent need to urinate, often leading to accidents before reaching the bathroom.
- Mixed Incontinence: A combination of both stress and urge incontinence.
What to Expect from the Procedure
The O-Shot is a quick, in-office treatment performed by our double board-certified urogynecologists at Cherokee Women’s Health. The process includes:
- Blood Draw: A small sample of your blood is taken and processed to extract PRP.
- Numbing Cream Application: A topical anesthetic is applied to ensure comfort.
- PRP Injection: The PRP is carefully injected into targeted areas near the urethra and vaginal tissue to stimulate healing and regeneration.
The entire procedure takes less than an hour, and most women experience little to no downtime.
Benefits of the O-Shot for Bladder Control
Many women notice improvements in bladder function within a few weeks, with results continuing to improve over several months. Benefits include:
- Stronger pelvic support for better bladder control
- Reduced or eliminated leaks with everyday activities
- Fewer nighttime trips to the bathroom
- Increased confidence and freedom to enjoy life without fear of accidents
