O-Shot Q & A

The orgasm shot, or O-Shot, is a quick, in-office procedure specifically for women who can’t reach orgasm, or who are experiencing low libido or sexual discomfort.

The O-Shot uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP), a concentrated form of your body’s healing properties, derived from a routine blood draw during your appointment. Dr. Furlong carefully injects the PRP into specific areas of your vaginal tissue, where it stimulates the growth of new cells, collagen, and blood vessels.

This regenerative process enhances sensitivity, increases natural lubrication, and boosts sexual response. Many women report noticeable improvements in sexual desire and orgasm intensity within just a few weeks of the treatment, with minimal downtime or side effects. If intercourse is painful for you now, the O-Shot can help relieve the discomfort and make sex enjoyable again.

What can I expect during the O-Shot procedure?

The O-Shot procedure is safe and typically takes less than 30 minutes to complete. Here’s what to expect:

Step 1: Consultation
You begin with a private consultation with Dr. Furlong to discuss your symptoms, medical history, and goals.
Step 2: Blood draw
Your provider draws a small amount of blood from your arm into vials.
Step 3: PRP preparation
Your blood is processed in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma (PRP), which contains your body’s natural healing factors.
Step 4: Numbing and injection
Dr. Furlong applies a numbing cream to targeted areas of your vagina to ensure maximum comfort. Then, she gently injects it into your vaginal tissue near your clitoris and upper vaginal wall, where it goes to work to boost sexual function and sensitivity.

Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure and return to their normal activities immediately afterward. You won’t need any downtime, and any mild sensitivity typically resolves within a day.

Am I a candidate for the O-Shot?

If you’re dealing with sexual dysfunction, such as trouble achieving orgasm or decreased sensation, the O-Shot is an ideal solution for you. If you struggle with urinary incontinence or vaginal dryness, it may also benefit you. Dr. Furlong meets with you to discuss your unique needs and evaluate if the O-Shot is right for you.
