Medical treatment of sexual dysfunction is analogous between men and women, because there is a lot of similarity in anatomy and physiology between the sexes. For instance, both men and women benefit from testosterone treatment for libido penile/clitoral erections, and ease of ability to reach a strong and satisfying orgasm. Both men and women benefit from drugs that block the PDE5 enzyme and cause a boost in nitric oxide, like Cialis and Viagra. Both men and women respond to the natural sexual bonding hormone, Oxytocin. Taken an hour before sex, it heightens sexual desire, male erections, and female orgasm. A new drug injected under the skin can increase sexual desire and orgasm for up to 12 hours. Its called Vyleesi (www.vyleesi.com) and is only approved for premenopausal women. But, guess what—It also works for postmenopausal women and men. Because the drug was only tested on premenopausal women, it only got that indication. But the man who did the studies gave himself an injection and had a four hour erection! Compounding pharmacies are working on a nasal spray with the active ingredient, bremelanotide, that can be used by both men and women before sex. Even regenerative procedures for male erections and female orgasm are remarkably similar, as you will read about next.
Dr. Gardner trained under the inventor of the Female PRP orgasm shot. The female orgasm shot is nearly painless and involves using local topical anesthetic and lidocaine injections to numb the clitoris and G-spot. During this time, your blood is drawn form your arm and placed in a specialized gel separation tube, which isolates and concentrates your platelets into Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP). PRP is loaded with growth factors and proteins that activate neuronal connectivity and increase blood flow. These factors are then injected into the clitoris and G-spot. Within a day, most women feel their sexual function improves as well as urinary stress incontinence and dribbling. Benefits can last up to 18 months. Learn more at:
Like with the Female PRP orgasm shot, the Male PRP penis erection shot involves Dr. Gardner taking a vial of venous blood, placing it in a PRP extraction tube, and centrifuging it until all the platelets have been separated and isolated. This Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) contains the growth factors and healing activators that create new nerve connections and increase the blood flow to the penis through neovascularization, the process of new blood vessel production. After the penis is totally numb from topical and injected anesthesia, the PRP is injected into the shaft on both sides and the head, or glans, of the penis as well. If the patient desires, Dr. Gardner also injects the glans with a PRP infused hyaluronic acid filler to enhance size and stimulation of the patient and the partner, which also heightens the sensation of orgasm.
