The O-Shot (PRP Injection) in Busan
The "O-Shot" is a brand name for injecting platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from your own blood into the clitoral and vaginal area. It is marketed for arousal, orgasm, dryness and mild leakage. Here is what to know about the evidence, risks and cost.
What it is
A small amount of your blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets. After numbing cream is applied, the PRP is injected near the clitoris and into the upper vaginal wall. Platelets contain growth factors, and the theory is that they encourage tissue repair and nerve sensitivity. The same approach is sometimes sold under other names; see PRP vaginal therapy .
What the evidence shows
Evidence for the O-Shot is limited. Published studies are mostly small, uncontrolled, and short in follow-up, and results for sexual function and incontinence are inconsistent. It is not a recognized standard treatment for sexual dysfunction or urinary incontinence, and no major gynecology society recommends it routinely.
Who might consider it, and what to try first
Low desire, difficulty with arousal or orgasm, and pain often have several causes, including hormones, medications, relationship factors, pelvic floor problems and menopause. Before paying for injections, consider:
- A gynecology exam to rule out infection, skin conditions or atrophy ( vaginal atrophy ).
- Lubricants, moisturizers or vaginal estrogen for dryness.
- Pelvic floor physiotherapy for leakage.
- Sex therapy or counseling for desire and orgasm concerns.
Risks
Because PRP uses your own blood, allergic reactions are unlikely, but bruising, swelling, pain, infection and temporary changes in sensation can occur. Ask how the PRP is prepared and whether the kit is single-use.
Cost and insurance
The O-Shot is elective and self-pay; it is not covered by Korea's National Health Insurance. Pricing depends on the PRP system, the number of sessions, and whether it is bundled with other treatments. Ask for a written quote.

When to get help sooner
After injections, contact a doctor promptly for fever, spreading redness, pus, or swelling that keeps getting worse. New pain with sex or bleeding should be checked.
