Procedure and Benefits of the O-Shot®
What is the O-Shot®?
Traditionally, surgical procedures were common for managing urinary stress incontinence, but the O-Shot® offers an alternative approach. Developed over a decade ago, the O-Shot® involves injecting platelet-rich plasma (PRP) derived from the patient's blood back into their body. PRP, containing highly active growth factors, stimulates cell and tissue regeneration, benefiting the area around the urethra to stop stress incontinence and improve intimate health.
How does the O-Shot® work?
Platelet-rich plasma is obtained by separating blood into its components, with a focus on the watery part (serum) and platelets. The injection, administered near the urethra, prompts the bone marrow to create new blood vessels and tissues. Over several weeks and months, this new tissue develops.
The O-Shot® is a simple treatment that uses a small amount of your blood to help heal tissues quickly. We create a serum with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from your blood, which contains powerful growth factors. When we inject this serum, the growth factors activate new cell growth and tissue repair. PRP can also enhance cell movement, fix damaged cells, and improve blood flow to the treated areas.
Treatment for Urinary Incontinence: The O-Shot®
It's time for a natural treatment
Do you experience involuntary loss of urine that is a social or hygienic problem for you?
Don't be alarmed. 1 in 20 young women are experiencing it too. Not to mention that 20-30% of young adult women and 30-40% of middle aged women are also struggling.
This is NOT a minor problem. Yet stress incontinence in females has few treatment options. Your doctor has probably told you to create a timed schedule, lose weight, do some Kegal exercises, and restrict your fluids. Though the first three options are good, they are not highly effective.
The female urethra (pee tube) is only 1/4 inch long, the mucosal lining around the urethra is very thin, and the slightest amount of pressure can cause fluid to leak through that short straw.
Maybe you have had surgery or are considering a mesh or sling. There is even Coaptite, but it has several unwanted side effects that often require the removal of granulomas.
So, what can you do that is effective, natural, and has no severe side effects?
It is time that women get the same treatment options that NFL players use for their wounds: Platelet Rich Plasma!
This procedure, called the O-Shot takes less than 10 minutes, is painless for most women, and the results are drastic.

Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder
Low sex desire is not counted a disorder unless it’s disrupting the woman’s life. Around 10% of women suffer with this problem. Suffering with a sexual disorder doesn't just mean that sex isn't fun. It is more complex than that. Improved sex leads to more energy, more creativity, increased confidence, decreased depression, and improved overall health.
Female Sexual Arousal Disorder
This usually, but not always, accompanies Sexual Desire Disorder. Women who suffer with this may want to have sex but have difficulty finding the pleasure of arousal. The 5% incidence doesn’t sound like much until you think..."that’s the same as one in 20 women!"
Female Orgasmic Disorder
Around 1 in 20 (or 5%) women can become aroused but have difficulty with orgasm. This can be so frustrating that sex becomes nonexistent in her life.
Dyspareunia
The woman suffers with real pain during intercourse (not from decreased lubrication or vaginal spasm). The incidence is from 1 in 10 to 1 in 5 women. (The above shocking statistics came from Obstetrics & Gynecology April 2011)
Why women suffer even after seeing their gynecologist
With around 4 in 10 women suffering from a sexual disorder, why do only about 1 in 10 ever talk to their physician about it?
According to Practice Bulletin in Obstetrics and Gynecology (April 2011), the reason may be that research shows few proven treatment options (with the exception of short-term hormone replacement).
Why discuss a problem for which there is no proven solution, right? So, the doctor just doesn’t ask and neither does she.
The most common treatment offered is vaginal estrogen, topical testosterone, or psychotherapy.
And even with the hormone therapies, the results were described as short-term.
No wonder only 14% of women ever discuss sexual problems with their physician--if the woman is already on hormones (or pre-menopausal), the only known solution, per the official recommendation of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, appears to be psycho-social therapies!

"I'm married with two kids," she says, "and although I had a healthy sex life, I was intrigued." In the days after the shot, Caroline says she felt no great urge to have sex -- but, when she did, it was like nothing she'd experienced. "As soon as my husband and I started kissing, I felt incredibly turned on, and I had a vaginal orgasm for the first time in my life," she recalls. "I've been having at least two or three orgasms every time we've had sex, both clitoral and vaginal, and they've been intensely powerful."

Overall, I'm about twice as likely to feel stimulated during sex and achieve an orgasm, and those orgasms are stronger and better every time.
Procedure and Benefits of the O-Shot®
The O-Shot® procedure involves a simple injection with minimal discomfort. Patients may experience immediate improvement or notice positive changes within four to six weeks. Importantly, the treatment utilizes the patient's own blood, making it safe with minimal risk of rejection.
As we’ve learned throughout this article urinary incontinence is caused by weakening tissue around the urethra. If your muscles, ligaments, and tissues that support the bladder have lost strength or tension, the bladder and urethra are unsupported, leading to leakage.The O-Shot® helps create fresh, revitalized tissue that supports the bladder and urethra. This gives women better control and helps reduce urinary incontinence.
Can anyone administer the O-Shot®?
No. Proper training and certification are required to administer the O-Shot® safely. Every provider at Epiphany Women’s Health is certified to administer the O-Shot®. You can verify this by visiting the Cellular Medicine Association.
