Lichen Sclerosus Circumcision – P-Shot: A Non-Surgical Solution

Lichen Sclerosus Circumcision and the P-Shot: A Non-Surgical Solution

Lichen sclerosus is a chronic skin condition that primarily affects the genital area, causing discomfort, itching, and scarring. Traditional treatments, such as steroid creams and circumcision for lichen sclerosus, have been the standard approach. However, innovative regenerative therapies like the P-Shot® (Priapus Shot) are emerging as a promising non-surgical alternative for managing symptoms and promoting healing.

What is Lichen Sclerosus?

Lichen sclerosus is an inflammatory skin disorder that leads to white, patchy, and fragile skin. While it can affect any part of the body, it most commonly appears on the genitalia. In men, it is often referred to as balanitis xerotica obliterans (BXO) when it affects the foreskin and glans.

Symptoms of Lichen Sclerosus in Men

  • Itching and irritation in the genital area
  • White, thin, and shiny skin on the penis or foreskin
  • Pain or discomfort during urination or sexual intercourse
  • Tightening of the foreskin (phimosis), making retraction difficult
  • Scarring and cracking, which may lead to bleeding
  • Loss of penile sensitivity due to prolonged inflammation

How the P-Shot Can Help with Lichen Sclerosus Instead of Circumcision

The P-Shot® (Priapus Shot) is a groundbreaking regenerative treatment that harnesses the power of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to promote healing and tissue regeneration. It has gained popularity for its effectiveness in treating erectile dysfunction and Peyronie’s disease, but recent studies and patient experiences indicate that it can also offer significant relief for men suffering from lichen sclerosus—potentially avoiding the need for lichen sclerosus circumcision.

Benefits of the P-Shot for Lichen Sclerosus

  1. Reduces Inflammation and Discomfort – PRP contains powerful growth factors that help calm inflammation and relieve itching, burning, and pain.
  2. Encourages Tissue Regeneration – The regenerative properties of PRP can help repair and strengthen the thinning, damaged skin caused by lichen sclerosus.
  3. Improves Skin Elasticity and Sensitivity – The P-Shot can restore lost sensitivity and enhance skin flexibility, helping to prevent scarring and further complications like phimosis.
  4. Non-Surgical and Minimally Invasive – Unlike circumcision for lichen sclerosus, the P-Shot is a quick, in-office procedure with minimal downtime and no need for surgical intervention.
  5. May Reduce Recurrence of Symptoms – Many men find that the P-Shot provides long-term relief, reducing the need for ongoing steroid treatments.

What to Expect During and After the P-Shot Treatment?

  • Quick and Painless Procedure – The treatment takes around 30-45 minutes and involves a simple blood draw, PRP extraction, and injection into the affected area.
  • Minimal Downtime – Most patients can resume normal activities the same day.
  • Gradual Improvements – Initial improvements in skin texture and symptom relief can be noticed within a few weeks, with continued enhancement over time.
  • Multiple Sessions May Be Needed – Some patients may require more than one treatment for optimal results, depending on the severity of their condition.

Are There Alternative Treatments to Circumcision for Lichen Sclerosus?

  • P-Shot® (Priapus Shot) – A cutting-edge regenerative treatment that uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to reduce inflammation, encourage tissue repair, and restore skin elasticity. The P-Shot has been shown to provide long-lasting relief for men with lichen sclerosus, making circumcision for lichen sclerosus avoidable in many cases. Learn more about the P-Shot here.
  • Topical Steroids (e.g., Clobetasol Propionate) – These can reduce inflammation and itching but may not prevent long-term scarring.
  • Tacrolimus Ointment – An alternative to steroids, particularly for those who experience side effects from long-term steroid use.
  • Hyaluronic Acid Creams – May help in maintaining skin hydration and reducing discomfort.
  • Lifestyle Modifications – Avoiding irritants like harsh soaps, maintaining proper genital hygiene, and wearing loose-fitting underwear can help prevent flare-ups.

Final Thoughts

Lichen sclerosus can be a distressing condition, but with the right treatment, symptoms can be effectively managed without surgery. The P-Shot is a revolutionary, non-invasive treatment that offers long-lasting relief, promotes healing, and helps restore comfort and confidence—potentially avoiding the need for circumcision due to lichen sclerosus.

Read How I Improved My Lichen Sclerosus

Had a consultation with Elite yesterday, I must say I was a bit nervous, but Dr Shirin was so friendly and helpful.
I was given lots of advice and was given treatment options that were within my budget.
A few weeks after the P Shot I've really started to see a difference and have gained my confidence back.

Thank You!

Elite is an outstanding professional clinic with high standard treatments. All the staff members are friendly and offer you honest opinions when it comes to products and treatments. This is a welcoming clinic that I can 100% recommend. Treatments are spoken through and explained in detail, also aftercare. I have been going nearly a year now and am happy with all the treatments I’ve had, wouldn't go anywhere else. The Bocox treatment started to work within a few days, which I was surprised about. So glad I went to Elite for treatment.

 

HV

Thank you Dr Shirin, the O Shot has really helped me with my Lichen Sclerosus. I'd heard about the treatment on the LS Facebook Groups and message a few people that had treatment with Dr Shirin. I was like many in the group who had run out of treatment options and using creams on a daily basis. I have to say a few months after treatment, I can see a real positive change and I'm hoping my LS will continue to improve. Dr Shirin did say that I might have to have a second treatment given how severe my case is.
