Fearless at 60: My O-Shot Adventure

As a 60-year-old woman, I never thought I’d be considering the O-Shot, but the results I’d heard about were fantastic so here I was! As hopeful as I was, I couldn’t shake off my apprehension about the process. The idea of discomfort and pain made me hesitant, and I felt too embarrassed to discuss it with my doctor. However, my desire for a more fulfilling and enjoyable intimate life with my husband of 35 years pushed me to overcome my fear.

Meeting Dr. Litrel: A Caring and Understanding Doctor

I made up my mind to go through with it and scheduled an appointment with my gynecologist, Dr. Michael Litrel of Cherokee Women’s Health Specialists. Dr. Litrel is a double board-certified urogynecologist and an experienced Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgeon (FPMRS). I knew he had experience in performing O-Shots.

Amid my nervousness about getting the O-Shot, I was fortunate to have a compassionate doctor like Dr. Litrel. He made all the difference in solidifying my decision. He took the time to listen to my concerns and made me feel at ease right from the start. His expertise in the field and his dedication to patient care reassured me that I was in capable hands. During our consultation, he patiently answered all my questions and explained the O-Shot procedure in detail. His willingness to address every apprehension I had helped build my trust in him even more and gave me the confidence to go through with the treatment. With his warm and empathetic approach, Dr. Litrel transformed what could have been an intimidating experience into one where I felt understood, respected, and supported.

The Day of the Procedure

The day of the procedure arrived, and I nervously sat in the waiting room, flipping through a magazine to distract myself. My mind was racing with questions and doubts, but I reminded myself of the positive outcome others had experienced. After what felt like an eternity, but was only 10 minutes, the nurse called my name, and I reluctantly got up and followed her to the examination room.

As always, Dr. Litrel was friendly and understanding, which helped ease my nerves a bit. He again explained the procedure step by step, which further calmed me down. The O-Shot, or orgasm shot, involved using platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to stimulate tissue growth and enhance sensitivity in the intimate areas.

First, he drew a small amount of my blood. He then processed the blood in a centrifuge to extract the platelet-rich plasma. The PRP contained growth factors that would help rejuvenate the targeted area. While this was being done, I felt a slight pinch, but it wasn’t too painful.

The Actual Injection

Next came the actual injection part, which I was most anxious about. Dr. Litrel applied a numbing cream to the areas he would be treating. This helped reduce any discomfort during the injections. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes as he administered the PRP into the clitoral region and the upper wall of the vagina. To my surprise, the sensation was more like a light pressure than pain.

The whole procedure only took about 30 minutes, and I was relieved when it was over. I was assured that any minor discomfort I might experience after the numbing wore off would fade quickly.

As I left his office, I couldn’t help but feel a mix of excitement and uncertainty. I had taken a significant step towards improving my intimate life, and I hoped it would be worth it.

Post-Procedure Experience and Results

Over the next few days, I followed Dr. Litrel’s post-procedure care instructions diligently. I was advised to avoid intercourse for a few days to allow the PRP to take full effect. During this time, I experienced some mild soreness, like the feeling after a regular injection, but nothing too uncomfortable.

Gradually, I noticed subtle changes. My intimate sensitivity seemed to increase, and I felt more in tune with my body. As the weeks passed, the full effects of the O-Shot became evident. Not only did I experience enhanced pleasure during intimate moments with my husband, but I also noticed an improvement in urinary incontinence, which had been an issue for me in recent years.

Looking back, I’m glad I gathered the courage to undergo the O-Shot procedure. While it’s natural to feel nervous about any medical procedure, my research and the support of a caring physician made all the difference. The results were undoubtedly worth it, and I felt more confident and satisfied than I had in a long time. It taught me that it’s essential to address our concerns openly and seek solutions to improve our well-being, no matter our age.
