O-Shot Injection
Intimate Health Deserves a More Thoughtful Conversation
Changes in intimate comfort, sexual function, and pelvic health can have many contributing factors. Understanding those factors is the first step toward deciding what kind of care may be appropriate.
At MAGY, we approach intimate health through individualized medical assessment, clear discussion of treatment options, and realistic expectations.
Assessment first. Treatment second.
Overview
Not Every Intimate Concern Has the Same Cause.
Changes in intimate health may be influenced by hormonal changes, pelvic floor function, medications, medical conditions, psychological factors, or changes in tissue health.
The O-Shot is a name commonly used for platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment in intimate health. PRP is derived from a person’s own blood and contains platelets and associated signalling proteins.
PRP has been investigated for several vulvovaginal and sexual-health concerns. However, the evidence remains limited, and it is not an established treatment for every concern associated with intimate health.
The right starting point is understanding what has changed—not assuming one procedure is the answer.
What Has Been Studied
An Emerging Area of Research.
Clinical research is beginning to explore the potential role of PRP in intimate health. While larger, well-designed studies are still needed, early findings suggest that some individuals may experience improvements in certain symptoms and patient-reported outcomes.
Studies have examined measures of sexual function, including desire, arousal, lubrication and orgasm. Some have reported improvements following PRP treatment, suggesting a potential benefit for selected individuals. However, the evidence remains preliminary, and these findings do not establish that PRP will reliably improve sexual function for every patient.
PRP has also been investigated for certain vulvovaginal conditions and symptoms, including those associated with tissue changes. Early research has reported encouraging outcomes in some patients, although differences in study design and treatment protocols make it difficult to determine which individuals may benefit most. Further research is needed before PRP can be considered an established treatment.
Small studies have explored PRP for stress urinary incontinence, with some reporting improvements in patient-reported symptoms. These findings are encouraging, but the evidence is not yet sufficient to establish PRP as a standard treatment or replacement for pelvic floor therapy and other evidence-based approaches.
Different concerns require different assessments. A treatment showing potential for one condition does not mean it is appropriate for another.

The Evidence
Promising Research Isn't the Same as Proven Treatment.
A 2023 systematic review found that studies of PRP for female sexual dysfunction and stress urinary incontinence reported some improvements, but concluded that the overall certainty of evidence was low because of methodological limitations.
A subsequent systematic review of vulvovaginal PRP studies also identified substantial variation in treatment protocols, small sample sizes, and limitations that prevent definitive conclusions about efficacy and safety.²
These findings support continued research, but they do not establish a standardized treatment protocol, predictable duration of benefit, or a reliable response for every patient.
We believe the limitations of a treatment should be as clear as its potential.
What To Expect
A Consultation Before A Procedure.
Your consultation begins with a review of your concerns, medical history, relevant symptoms, and treatment goals.
Depending on your presentation, your provider may recommend further assessment, investigation, or referral before considering any procedure.
If PRP is discussed as an option, your provider will explain the available evidence, potential risks, alternatives, and uncertainties so you can make an informed decision.
The treatment process, preparation, and aftercare will be reviewed individually by your medical provider.
Who It's For
When a Closer Assessment May Be Helpful.
A medical consultation may be appropriate if you are experiencing changes in intimate comfort, sexual function, or pelvic health that are persistent, concerning, or affecting your quality of life.
These concerns may have multiple causes, and PRP is not necessarily the appropriate treatment.
Symptoms such as unexplained bleeding, persistent pain, recurrent infections, or new urinary concerns require appropriate medical assessment rather than proceeding directly to an elective procedure.
The MAGY Approach
We Don't Start with the Procedure.
Intimate health is personal, and there is no single treatment that addresses every concern.
Our approach is to understand your symptoms, consider relevant medical and lifestyle factors, and discuss the options that are supported by your individual assessment.
Where appropriate, care may involve medical management, pelvic floor physiotherapy, specialist referral, or other evidence-based approaches.
The goal is not more treatment. It’s a better reason for every treatment we choose.

O Shot Injection
Frequently Asked Questions
The O-Shot is a name commonly used for PRP treatment in intimate health. PRP is a preparation derived from a person's own blood. Its use for sexual and vulvovaginal concerns remains an emerging area of research.
Some small studies have reported improvements in patient-reported outcomes, but the overall evidence remains limited. Larger, well-designed trials are needed to establish which patients may benefit, how reliably, and for how long.¹ ²
No. PRP contains platelets and associated signalling proteins. It should not be described as a stem-cell treatment.
PRP has been studied for stress urinary incontinence, but it is not an established replacement for evidence-based assessment and treatment. The appropriate approach depends on the type and cause of urinary symptoms.
Research has explored PRP for certain vulvovaginal symptoms, but evidence is insufficient to establish it as a standard treatment. Menopause-related concerns should be assessed individually, and established treatment options should be discussed where appropriate.²
Using a person's own blood does not make a procedure risk-free. Your provider should discuss procedural risks, contraindications, and alternatives before treatment.
There is not enough high-quality evidence to establish a reliable duration of benefit. Individual responses may vary, and a specific duration should not be guaranteed.
There is no universally established treatment schedule for intimate-health PRP. Any treatment plan should be based on individual assessment, the available evidence, and an informed discussion of potential benefits and limitations.
Yes. A consultation allows your provider to review your concerns, determine whether further assessment is needed, and discuss whether PRP or another approach may be appropriate.
