Revolutionary treatment for stronger and more frequent orgasms
What is the O-Shot?
The O-Shot, or “orgasm shot,” is a relatively new treatment that is used to promote sensitivity in the vaginal canal and to help in achieving orgasm. Although it is a fairly new procedure with limited data, anecdotally, women claim to have been helped by the O-Shot and there is currently a larger study underway, with a placebo component, to see if more objective data bears out its anecdotal effectiveness.
After receiving the O-Shot, many women have reported experiencing very positive results including:
- Stronger and more frequent orgasms
- Tighter vaginal opening
- Increased natural lubrication
- Decreased pain when having intercourse
- Decreased urinary incontinence
- Increased sexual desire
A reporter recently decided to get the O-Shot and claimed to see a huge improvement in her sex life. Read more about her experience and her results.
The developer of the O-Shot claims that only a single shot is necessary and that its effects last for 1-3 years. (Again, this has not yet been proven.) Read more about the O-Shot’s Research.
After three babies, and entering my 40s I realized that I started having more stress incontinence and more difficulties with arousal. No amount of Kegels was helping resolve these issues, so I decided to give the O-shot a try. I honestly didn’t think it would really do very much, but it seemed like a relatively easy thing to try. I had my injection in May 2018. It took about a month before I realized that my stress incontinence was less problematic, I could now do jumping jacks at the gym, without worrying. After about three months I noted that my arousal and orgasms were also more intense. So far the O-shot still has had lasting effects, and I am really happy that I decided to have the procedure done. It was quick and painless, and definitely worth it.

How does the O-Shot work?
The O-Shot is based on other treatments that use platelet-rich plasma, commonly referred to as “PRP”, for treatment of injuries. PRP is a part of whole human blood. When blood is spun down, the different components are separated out and one portion contains a concentration of platelets above normal values. Platelets are the clotting cells in our blood, but they also have potential to enhance healing of muscle, tendon, and ligaments.
Studies suggest that growth factors released by platelets recruit reparative cells and these cells may in turn augment tissue repair and accelerate soft tissue healing. PRP has been used in the past for orthopedic injuries.
The theory of the O-Shot proposed by the inventor, Charles Runels, MD, is that, just as it can do when injected into other tissues, PRP can “generate healthier and more functional tissue in the areas of sexual response in the vagina (G-Spot, O-Spot, Skene’s Glands, urethra vaginal wall).” Learn More
In addition to claiming to improve your sex life, there are also claims that the O-Shot can help with urinary incontinence (accidental leakage when laughing, coughing or exercising). Again, there is only anecdotal data to support this claim.
What's involved in getting an O-Shot?
The O-Shot is performed in our office. A patient has a small amount of blood taken from her arm, the same way it would be taken for a blood test. The blood is then centrifuged, which allows the platelet-rich plasma to be separated out. This process takes approximately 20 minutes in our laboratory.
The PRP is then re-injected into an area near the clitoris and inside the vagina. Patients report that there is limited discomfort with the procedure. Again, the goal is to stimulate the growth of new cells and make the injected areas more sensitive.
What else is PRP used for?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) extraction has been approved by the FDA for a variety of orthopedic uses, but the FDA has not yet evaluated PRP use in the vagina.
Is it safe? / Are there any side effects?
Fortunately, there have been no significant side effects reported in all the countries where the O-Shot is performed. Potential side effects include temporary minimal vaginal spotting of blood, hypersensitivity or excessive orgasms, yeast infection and urinary tract infection. The claims made are that the procedure works about 80% of the time. Learn More
How many treatments do I need?
There is little research, but anecdotal evidence suggests that after only one O-Shot treatment, you’ll notice full results in 2 weeks, and that the effects can last up to 3 years.
Does the treatment hurt?
The O-Shot is painless. Lidocaine is used topically to numb the first lidocaine injection (near, but not into the clitoris) which then completely numbs the PRP injections. Most patients find that the blood draw from your arm (which must be done in order to obtain the PRP for the O-Shot) is the most uncomfortable part of the procedure.
Why is Maze uniquely qualified to perform the O-Shot?
