How the P Shot Helped My Erectile Dysfunction | Real Patient Story

Written by Dr. Shirin Lakhani, Elite Aesthetics

This is a personal account of erectile dysfunction, alongside medical insight into how regenerative treatments like the P Shot are being used in clinical practice.

I am 33, and I never thought I would be dealing with erectile dysfunction.

It is not something that crosses your mind at that age, and it is definitely not something you talk about openly. For a while, I tried to ignore it. That did not work.

When I Realised Something Was Wrong

It started gradually.

Erections were not as strong as before. Sometimes I could not maintain them. Sensitivity felt reduced as well, which made everything feel less natural.

I have Type 1 diabetes, so I already knew that circulation and nerve function can change over time. Still, knowing that and experiencing it are two different things.

What made it worse was the mental side of it. Once you start thinking about it, it becomes hard not to. That pressure builds and it starts to affect everything.

Understanding the Cause

Through my research and consultation, it became clear that erectile dysfunction is often linked to a combination of factors:

• Reduced blood flow to the penile tissue
• Changes in vascular health
• Nerve signalling issues
• Psychological stress

In men with diabetes, these physical factors are more common. That explains why simply increasing blood flow for a short period does not always solve the problem long term.

There is growing clinical discussion around regenerative approaches that aim to improve tissue health rather than just create a temporary response. Some early studies on platelet rich plasma suggest it may support angiogenesis and tissue repair in certain settings.

Why I Looked Beyond Medication

Medication was the obvious option, and I did consider it.

But it did not feel like a long term solution. I did not want to rely on something that worked for a few hours and then wore off, especially when the underlying issue remained.

I wanted to find something that could actually improve how things were functioning.

How I Found the P Shot

That is when I came across the P Shot treatment.

At first, I was cautious. It sounded unfamiliar. But the more I read, the more it seemed grounded in a wider area of medicine that is already used in orthopaedics and dermatology.

The idea is simple. A small sample of your own blood is processed to concentrate platelets. These platelets contain growth factors that may help support tissue repair and improved blood flow.

That approach made sense to me.

What the Appointment Was Like

I booked in with Dr Shirin Lakhani.

The consultation was straightforward and honest. Suitability was discussed properly, which helped set realistic expectations.

The treatment itself was quicker than I expected. Blood was taken, processed, and a numbing cream was applied before the procedure. It was comfortable, and I was able to leave shortly afterwards without needing time off.

What I Noticed Over Time

The changes were gradual.

In the first few weeks, I noticed slight improvements in sensitivity. It was not dramatic, but it was enough to feel like something was happening.

After about a month, erections felt stronger and more consistent.

Over the next couple of months, things began to feel normal again. The biggest difference was that I stopped thinking about it. That constant background worry disappeared.

The Part That Made the Biggest Difference

The physical improvement mattered, but the mental shift was just as important.

Erectile dysfunction affects confidence in a way that is hard to explain unless you have experienced it. Once things improved physically, that confidence came back naturally.

That changed how I approached intimacy and how I felt overall.

Why This Was Important to Me

This was not only about performance.

My partner and I were trying to start a family, and erectile dysfunction had become a barrier. That made it feel much more significant.

Being able to move past that felt like a weight had been lifted.

Clinical Perspective from Dr Shirin Lakhani

From a medical standpoint, regenerative treatments such as PRP are being explored as a way to support natural function.

Dr Shirin Lakhani explains that in selected patients, improving blood flow and tissue health can lead to noticeable improvements in erection quality and sensitivity.

It is important to understand that results vary and that a proper consultation is essential. Not every patient will be suitable, and expectations need to be realistic.

Safety and Considerations

One of the reasons I felt comfortable proceeding is that the treatment uses your own blood. That reduces the risk of allergic reactions.

Like any medical procedure, it should only be carried out by a qualified professional with experience in this area.

A full assessment is important to make sure it is the right option.

Who This Might Help

Based on my experience, this approach may be worth considering if you are dealing with:

• Mild to moderate erectile dysfunction
• Diabetes related changes
• Reduced sensitivity
• Frustration with short term solutions
• A desire for a more natural approach

Final Thoughts

Erectile dysfunction is more common than most people realise, and it is not something you have to simply accept.

For me, taking a different approach made a meaningful difference.
