Oh My! What the O-Shot Can Do for Your Sexual Health

The O-Shot® has emerged as a fresh solution for women seeking more fulfilling intimacy without medication or surgery. This minimally invasive procedure uses your body’s natural healing mechanisms to rejuvenate vaginal and clitoral tissue in just one appointment, making it ideal for women looking for effective results without lengthy recovery time.

With a quick procedure and minimal discomfort, it’s easy to see why the O-Shot has become increasingly popular among women prioritizing their sexual health and satisfaction.

At Empowerment Med in College Station, Texas, Chloe Ntaimo, MD, provides personalized O-Shot treatments tailored to address your specific concerns and wellness goals.

How the O-Shot works and why it’s so effective

Unlike hormone therapies or medications, the O-Shot uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP) derived from your blood to stimulate tissue regeneration. When precisely injected into key areas of the vagina and clitoris, these growth factors activate your body’s natural healing response. This process effectively addresses:

• Decreased sexual sensitivity and orgasm difficulties
• Vaginal dryness and discomfort during intercourse
• Urinary incontinence and bladder control issues
• Pain during intercourse (dyspareunia)
• Lichen sclerosus symptoms
• Decreased arousal and libido

What sets the O-Shot apart is its ability to enhance sensitivity while addressing multiple intimate wellness concerns simultaneously when performed by a qualified provider like Dr. Ntaimo.

Your post-treatment timeline explained

Here’s what to expect in the weeks following your O-Shot procedure:

The first few hours

Immediately after your treatment, you might notice mild redness or swelling at the injection sites. These typically subside within a few hours. You can resume most normal activities quickly, though you should avoid sexual activity for at least 24-48 hours.

Days 1-7: Initial changes

During this period, you might notice increased sensitivity and mild tingling as circulation improves in the treated areas. 

Weeks 1-3: Progressive improvements

By now, you should start experiencing enhanced sensitivity during arousal. Vaginal tissues begin to rejuvenate, and you should notice increased natural lubrication. Those with mild urinary incontinence often report improvements in bladder control.

Weeks 4-12: Better orgasms and more

Around the three-month mark, you’ll experience the complete effects of your O-Shot treatment. Sexual response should enhance, and issues like dryness or discomfort should significantly improve. This is also when Dr. Ntaimo recommends a follow-up appointment to assess your results and discuss whether a second treatment might be beneficial.

Common questions from O-Shot candidates

Let’s address some frequent questions from women considering the O-Shot:

Is the procedure painful?

Most patients report minimal discomfort during the O-Shot procedure. Dr. Ntaimo applies a numbing treatment before treatment to ensure your comfort throughout the process.

How long will my results last?

O-Shot results typically last 12-18 months for most women. With periodic maintenance treatments, many find they can maintain their improvements long-term.

Who is a good candidate for the O-Shot?

The O-Shot benefits women of various ages experiencing sexual health concerns, from postpartum changes to menopausal symptoms. It’s particularly effective for those who haven’t found relief through traditional treatments.

Are there any side effects?

Since the O-Shot uses your blood plasma, allergic reactions are extremely rare. Some women experience mild swelling or sensitivity for a day or two, but serious side effects are uncommon when the procedure is performed by an experienced provider like Dr. Ntaimo.
