“Improvement of sexual wellness in men” refers to actions or interventions to enhance various aspects of men’s sexual health and well-being. This can involve addressing physical, psychological, and relational factors that contribute to overall sexual satisfaction and function.
- “Enhancing men’s sexual wellness” involves addressing physical, psychological, and relational functions. This includes optimizing physical health, managing sexual dysfunction, promoting mental well-being, fostering healthy relationships, and providing education and awareness about sexual health.
- Sexual dysfunction: Addressing issues such as erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, or low libido is crucial for improving sexual wellness. Treatment options may include medication, therapy, lifestyle modifications, or a combination.
- Psychological well-being: Mental health plays a vital role in sexual wellness. Managing stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions can positively impact sexual function and satisfaction.
- Relationship dynamics: Healthy relationships and partner communication are essential for sexual wellness. Addressing relationship issues, enhancing intimacy, and fostering mutual understanding and support can contribute to a fulfilling sexual life.
- Education and awareness: Providing accurate information about sexual health and promoting healthy attitudes towards sexuality can empower men to make informed decisions and take proactive steps to improve their sexual wellness.

P-Shot (Priapus Shot)
The P-Shot uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP), prepared from a small sample of your own blood. PRP contains growth factors that may support tissue repair and blood flow when injected into the penis.

Who it may help:
- Erectile difficulties, including after prostate surgery or related to diabetes or certain medications
- As an add-on in some cases of Peyronie’s disease or lichen sclerosus
- Men looking to support overall sexual function
Evidence for the P-Shot is still developing, and results vary between individuals. It’s not a substitute for treating underlying conditions such as diabetes or heart disease.
The procedure
- Your blood is drawn and processed to concentrate the platelets.
- A numbing cream or local anesthetic is applied.
- PRP is injected into the penis. The injection itself usually takes 10–15 minutes, and the whole visit under 30 minutes.
- A course of about 3 sessions over 3 months is typically recommended
Preparation
- Consultation with the doctor about your expectation
- The patient’s penis must be cleaned without any infection
- Stop taking anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen or aspirin for at least two weeks or some vitamin and herbal supplements that may increase bleeding during and after the procedure.
Aftercare and recovery
- Clean the area gently after urinating with sanitary wipes for the first 12 hours.
- You can return to normal activities the same day, and to work the next day.
- Sexual activity is usually possible after 24 hours.
Possible side effects: bruising, minor bleeding or hematoma, swelling, temporary discomfort and, rarely, infection.
Risks and Complications from P-Shot
The risks and complications are sporadic, including:
- Bruising
- Hematoma
- Swelling
- Painful
- Infection
Low-Intensity Shockwave Therapy (Li-ESWT)
Penis shock wave therapy, also known as low-intensity extracorporeal shock wave therapy (Li-ESWT), is a non-invasive treatment option for erectile dysfunction (ED). This therapy involves delivering low-intensity shock waves to the penis, typically using a handheld device, to stimulate blood vessel growth and improve blood flow to the erectile tissue.
Benefits of Penis Shock Wave Therapy
1. Stimulation of Blood Vessel Growth
The shock waves delivered during the therapy session stimulate the release of growth factors, such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which promote the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) in the penile tissue. This increased vascularity improves blood flow to the penis, leading to enhanced erectile function.
2. Breakdown of Microscopic Plaque
Shock waves also help break down microscopic plaque and calcium deposits in the blood vessels, which may contribute to ED by restricting blood flow. This process, known as cavitation, helps restore the elasticity and functionality of the blood vessels, allowing for improved penile blood flow and erectile function.
3. Neovascularization
In addition to promoting angiogenesis, shock wave therapy stimulates the formation of new nerve tissue (neovascularization) in the penis. This can enhance sensitivity and arousal, leading to better overall sexual function and satisfaction.
Preparing for Penis Shock Wave therapy
- Consultation with a healthcare provider.
- Diagnostic tests to assess your condition.
- Follow instructions on discontinuing blood-thinning medications.
- Maintain good hygiene.
- Avoid alcohol and tobacco.
- Stay hydrated.
- Follow pre-treatment instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
- Mentally prepare for the procedure.
The procedure
During penile shock wave therapy, low-intensity shock waves are applied to the penile tissue using a specialized device. The waves are typically delivered externally to the penis through a handheld probe or applicator. The treatment is painless and non-invasive, not requiring anesthesia or sedation.
Post-procedure Care
- Follow activity restrictions as advised by your provider.
- Maintain good hygiene.
- Manage pain with over-the-counter medication if needed.
- Attend follow-up appointments.
- Consider abstaining from sexual activity as advised.
- Eat a balanced diet and stay hydrated.
- Monitor for complications and contact your provider if any arise.
- Follow any additional instructions from your healthcare provider diligently.
Risks and Complications
Complications from penile shock wave therapy are rare but can include:
- Minor discomfort or bruising at the treatment site.
- Temporary increase in erectile dysfunction immediately following treatment.
- Rarely, skin injury or infection.
- Potential for scarring, though extremely rare, when performed by a qualified provider.
It’s important to discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider and follow their guidance to minimize risks and manage potential complications.
G-Shot
The G-shot, also known as the G-spot amplification procedure, is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment aimed at enhancing sexual pleasure in women by augmenting the sensitivity of the Grafenberg spot, commonly known as the G-spot. The procedure involves injecting a filler substance, typically hyaluronic acid or collagen, into the anterior vaginal wall near the location of the G-spot.
Preparation
Before the procedure, the healthcare provider will conduct a thorough evaluation of the patient’s medical history and sexual health to determine if they are a suitable candidate for the G-shot. The patient may be advised to refrain from sexual activity or use tampons for a certain period before the procedure.
Administration of Anesthesia
Local anesthesia is applied to the vaginal area to minimize discomfort during the injection process.
Injection of Filler Substance
Using a small needle, the healthcare provider injects the filler substance into the anterior vaginal wall, targeting the area believed to correspond to the G-spot. The filler is intended to increase the size and sensitivity of the G-spot, potentially enhancing sexual arousal and pleasure.
Post-procedure Care
After the injection, the patient may experience mild discomfort, swelling, or bruising in the vaginal area. These symptoms typically resolve within a few days. Patients are advised to avoid sexual intercourse and strenuous physical activity for a short period following the procedure to allow for proper healing.
The G-shot procedure is often marketed as a quick and minimally invasive way to enhance sexual satisfaction and improve orgasm intensity for women who may have difficulty achieving orgasm or experience reduced sexual sensitivity. Proponents of the G-shot claim that it can lead to heightened sexual arousal, increased vaginal lubrication, and more intense orgasms.
Why Choose Kamol Hospital in Bangkok for Men's Sexual Wellness
The men’s sexual wellness field attracts a great deal of marketing and comparatively little honesty. Clinics sell packages of shots and shockwave sessions with impressive-sounding mechanisms and confident promises, and many men spend substantial sums without anyone having established why they have a problem in the first place.
Our starting point is diagnosis rather than treatment. Erectile difficulty is frequently the earliest sign of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or a hormonal problem, and treating the symptom while leaving the cause unexamined misses something that matters more than the symptom. As a full hospital, we have laboratory testing, imaging, and specialist physicians on site, so that assessment happens properly and in one place.
We are also willing to tell you a treatment is unlikely to help you. PRP and shockwave therapy have a genuine but limited evidence base, and they suit particular patients — mild to moderate vascular erectile dysfunction, most clearly. For men with severe dysfunction, significant nerve damage, or a primarily psychological cause, other approaches work better, and we would rather direct you there than sell you a course of sessions.
Where a problem is anxiety-driven, counselling is the appropriate treatment, and we say so rather than reaching for an injection. Where medication is the right answer, it is prescribed and monitored properly. Where surgery is genuinely indicated — a penile implant for severe refractory erectile dysfunction, for example — we have the surgical capability to provide it.
Kamol Hospital is accredited by the Joint Commission International, with private consultation facilities and staff experienced in discussing sexual health without embarrassment on either side. For international patients, our team arranges scheduling, accommodation, and interpretation.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is the P-Shot painful?
A numbing cream or local anesthetic is used, so most men feel only mild discomfort. You can usually return to work the next day.
How many sessions will I need?
Shockwave therapy is given as a course — typically several sessions over a few weeks rather than a one-off — and the benefit depends on completing it. The P-Shot may be repeated depending on response. Your doctor will set out a plan after assessment, and it is fair to ask what happens if the first course does not help.
How long do P-Shot results last?
Results vary between individuals. Some men notice improvement for a year or more, while others need maintenance treatments. Evidence is still developing, and your doctor will discuss realistic expectations.
Can the P-Shot make my penis bigger?
The P-Shot isn’t proven to increase penis size. If size is your main concern, see Penile Enlargement for options.
Who is shockwave therapy suitable for?
It’s most suitable for men with mild to moderate erectile dysfunction caused by reduced blood flow. It’s less effective for severe ED or ED caused by nerve damage.
Can I combine P-Shot, shockwave therapy and medication?
Yes. Some men benefit from combining treatments. Your doctor will recommend the best plan after assessing the cause of your symptoms.
Do I need a check-up before treatment?
It’s recommended. Sexual problems can be a sign of conditions such as diabetes, heart disease or low testosterone, which should be treated too. See Men’s Check Up.
Is it worth travelling to Bangkok, Thailand for this?
As a dedicated trip for shots or shockwave alone, probably not — these treatments need a course of sessions and ongoing review, which is easier with a doctor near home. Where travelling makes clear sense is for a thorough diagnostic work-up: the cost of comprehensive hormonal, cardiovascular, and metabolic assessment in Bangkok, Thailand is a fraction of what it costs in Australia, the UK, or North America, and it can be completed in a day or two rather than across months of referrals. Many patients combine it with a general health screening or another procedure.
Is my consultation confidential?
Of course. Consultations and records are kept private. You can book a free consultation by phone, WhatsApp or online.
