The O-Shot is a regenerative treatment that uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from your own blood to rejuvenate vaginal tissue and improve sensitivity, lubrication, and urinary control. Below is a detailed guide on what to expect after the procedure, including aftercare, potential side effects, and results timeline.
Immediate Post-Procedure Expectations
- Minimal Discomfort: Most patients report little to no pain, though mild sensitivity, swelling, or tingling in the treated area is common for a few hours.
- Possible Spotting: Light spotting or mild bleeding at the injection sites may occur but should resolve quickly.
- Normal Activities: You can resume daily activities immediately, including work and light exercise. First 24-48 Hours
- Increased Sensitivity: Some women experience heightened sensitivity, though others may not notice an immediate difference.
- Swelling or Mild Tenderness/ Feeling of Fullness: This is normal and typically subsides within a day or two.
- Avoid Sexual Activity for 24 Hours: This allows the PRP to settle and begin its regenerative effects.
Weeks 2-6: Progressive Benefits
- Enhanced Sexual Response: Most women experience increased sensitivity, stronger orgasms, and improved arousal within this period.
- Urinary Incontinence Improvement: If the O-Shot was received for urinary leakage, you may notice better bladder control by this time.
- Continued Healing: PRP continues to stimulate collagen production and tissue repair for several weeks.
Long-Term Results (3-6 Months)
- Maximized Benefits: The full effects of the O-Shot typically peak around 3 months, with sustained benefits lasting 12-18 months.
- Maintenance Treatments: Some women opt for a second treatment within a year to enhance or prolong results.
Potential Side Effects
Most side effects are mild and temporary, but possible reactions include:
- Temporary swelling, redness, or tenderness
- Mild spotting or bruising at the injection site
- Temporary increased or decreased sensation (resolves within weeks)
Rare but serious side effects (contact your provider if you experience these):
- Persistent pain or swelling
- Signs of infection (fever, excessive redness, or unusual discharge)
