Orgasm shots: The controversial \u2018happy ending\u2019 being marketed to brides<\/p>\n

The checklist for the dream wedding used to have that perfect bridal glow, a \u201cManish Malhotra\u2019s designer lehenga\u201d, a palace in Udaipur, and a perfect wedding film-maker to make the day the most perfect one. However, the idea of \u2018bridal glow\u2019 is now extending beyond surface-level beauty treatments.From gold-leaf facials to body sculpting, bridal prep trends are evolving, with the market now pushing a new category of treatments aimed at enhancing the honeymoon experience.In the market, O-shots no longer stand only for Ozempic; they have a newfound meaning, an intimate and controversial one at that. A treatment known as the \u2018Orgasm-shot\u2019 is now being pitched to brides, with claims around improving intimacy.But what exactly does this treatment involve? And the big question: Does it actually work?As the treatment is marketed with the promise of enhancing the honeymoon experience, leading gynaecologists say the treatment is not exactly proven to be effective and remains, at best, an investigational procedure.<\/p>\n

What is the O\u2011Shot, really?<\/p>\n

The O\u2011Shot, or orgasm shot, is a non-surgical procedure using a patient’s own platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injected into the vagina and clitoris to rejuvenate tissue, increase sexual sensation, improve arousal, and boost natural lubrication.The idea is that through the procedure, the platelet count in that particular area is increased, which then helps stimulate tissue regeneration, improve blood flow and enhance sexual sensation, including orgasm quality.Dr Tripti Raheja, director, obstetrics & gynaecology at CK Birla Hospital, Delhi, explains the basic mechanism.She says, \u201cThe O\u2011Shot, or Orgasm Shot, involves the injection of platelet-rich plasma, extracted from a patient\u2019s blood, into vaginal tissues for the purpose of improving sexual performance by increasing blood flow and sensitivity to the vagina.\u201d \"How However, she also situates this treatment as a part of a broader reality to cure female sexual dysfunctions. Adding the possible causes of female sexual dysfunction right after the definition, she says, \u201cStill, it should be noted that female sexual dysfunction has many possible causes (e.g., hormonal imbalance, psychological issues, and relational problems), and an isolated treatment such as the O\u2011Shot will not rectify the underlying causes.\u201dAcross the city, at Madhukar Rainbow Children\u2019s Hospital, Dr Juhee Jain, director of obstetrics and gynaecology, offers a simpler clinical description of the treatment.She says, \u201cThe O\u2011Shot involves taking platelet\u2011rich plasma (PRP) from the patient before injecting it into pre\u2011determined spots in the vaginal wall. The procedure is performed by a qualified health provider and is an outpatient, minimally invasive technique designed to enhance sexual pleasure (sensitivity and lubrication).\u201dThus, O-shot injections are used to stimulate tissue regeneration in the vaginal and clitoral regions. In simpler terms, the process increases the density of blood platelets in the targeted region, ultimately increasing the sensation.<\/p>\n

So, how effective is it?<\/p>\n

A pilot study by a Turkish OB-GYN clinic on \u201cPRP administration to lower anterior vaginal wall to improve female sexual satisfaction\u201d did find that the treatment can subjectively improve libido and orgasmic function. Yet the larger scientific picture is far more cautious. \"Dr A 2023 systematic review on \u201cefficacy and safety of platelet-rich plasma injections for the treatment of female sexual dysfunction and stress urinary incontinence\u201d concludes that \u201cThere is no clear evidence in the literature that PRP injections improve female sexual dysfunction.\u201d Against that backdrop, Dr Raheja also underlines the lack of robust evidence.She says, \u201cThe O\u2011shot\u2019s effectiveness is still in doubt because of limited clinical evidence demonstrating any statistically significant changes, as no well\u2011designed studies have been performed to establish the effectiveness of the O\u2011shot. There are virtually no published clinical studies showing a statistically significant change in libido or sexual pleasure; thus, the O\u2011shot\u2019s effectiveness for all women, particularly for women in menopause, is essentially unproven.\u201dA similar line comes from Dr Juhee Jain, who refuses to endorse the O\u2011shot as everyday, evidence\u2011based gynaecological care. Citing the lack of proper studies on the matter, she dismissed the procedure as ineffective.She says, \u201cCurrently, there is limited scientific evidence supporting the efficacy of O\u2011Shot procedures. Many women report an increase in sexual pleasure or libido; however, not all women will experience these same positive results from this procedure. There are no high\u2011quality clinical studies with enough participants to demonstrate its effectiveness, and therefore, the O\u2011shot is not evidence\u2011based on current standards of care for gynaecological practice.\u201dSome doctors also attribute the improved sensation to the placebo effect of taking the treatment. However, at large, the doctors echoed the same sentiment of lack of evidence towards the effectiveness of this procedure.The treatment is carried out in sessions. But the effectiveness of the first session, or a standard requirement of sessions for best results, is unknown, even in the market. <\/p>\n

Why is the procedure gaining popularity?<\/p>\n

The blood is drawn from the patient\u2019s body. It is then centrifuged to separate the platelets and is then re-injected in the patient\u2019s body. Because of the absence of any foreign elements, the O\u2011shot is often marketed as \u201cnatural\u201d and low\u2011risk. But both doctors emphasise that unknowns remain, and that the procedure is not FDA\u2011approved for sexual dysfunction treatment.Dr Raheja lays out the safety picture, \u201cThe O\u2011Shot has the potential to be low\u2011risk as the blood used is from the patient him\/herself. Due to the lack of studies, the long\u2011term effects of the treatment are not known.\u201dHowever, the doctor did list out some side effects of the treatment.She said, \u201cRisks associated with the use of the O\u2011shot may include pain, swelling, infection, bruising, nerve sensitivity, and temporary altered sensations.\u201d \"Dr And while the procedure is finding its way in the conversations, it has still not bagged the stamp of approval from the administrative bodies like the FDA.Dr Raheja says, \u201cIn addition, the O\u2011Shot is not FDA approved for the treatment of sexual problems, and there are currently no established national guidelines recommending its use in the area of gynaecology. Thus, caution should be used when considering this procedure, and it must only be used if proper informed consent is obtained before performing the procedure.\u201dDr Juhee Jain adds a list of possible complications. She warns that while the risk of allergic reaction is reduced, there are certain complications with the process.\u201cThe O\u2011shot uses the patient\u2019s own blood to eliminate the risk of allergic reaction; however, there are still potential complications associated with this procedure. The complications include discomfort, swelling, and bleeding. The complications associated with O\u2011shots are usually only temporary. However, there have been reports of rare complications such as infection, tissue damage, and scarring.\u201d<\/p>\n

Should the bride \u2018take the shot\u2019?<\/p>\n

Dr Jain, when asked about how safe, effective or necessary this procedure can turn out to be for the bride, says that the process has not received formal recognition, nor has it been studied properly to understand the best ways to administer it.She says, \u201cAll women considering the O\u2011shot should be aware that this therapy is considered experimental and not routine, and see a qualified physician to discuss their candidacy, relative risk, and have realistic expectations.\u201dDrawing from her own clinical experience, she denied administering the procedure on any patient as she said, though it is much talked about, the patients enquiring, seeking or undergoing this procedure are rarely seen.The response highlights that the gap between the hyped marketing and the actual clinical workflow is precisely what makes the bridal framing so controversial. \"Dr Doctors don\u2019t completely dismiss PRP injections. They may consider them for women with specific medical issues like sexual dysfunction, vaginal dryness, or stress incontinence, where PRP is still being studied as an add-on treatment.But they are clear on one thing: the O-Shot should not be seen as a quick cosmetic fix for a better honeymoon, or as a replacement for dealing with hormonal, emotional, or relationship-related concerns.As Dr Raheja puts it, \u201cFemale sexual dysfunction has many possible causes, and a single treatment like the O-Shot cannot fix them all.\u201dIn India\u2019s high-pressure bridal culture, where everything is optimised for the big day, the O-Shot risks being marketed more as a lifestyle trend than a medical treatment. The key question remains whether the treatment delivers results that justify its growing popularity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Orgasm shots: The controversial \u2018happy ending\u2019 being marketed to brides The checklist for the dream wedding used to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":593737,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[4,258863,5987,97,2344,5984,5985,258862,258861,258864,258865,258858,258866,258859,5986,258860],"class_list":{"0":"post-595240","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-health","8":"tag-breaking-news","9":"tag-dr-juhee-jain","10":"tag-google-news","11":"tag-health","12":"tag-india","13":"tag-india-news","14":"tag-india-news-today","15":"tag-juhee-jain","16":"tag-manish-malhotras","17":"tag-obstetrics-gynaecology","18":"tag-orgasm-shot-treatment-for-brides","19":"tag-orgasm-shot-treatment-for-brides-in-india","20":"tag-orgasm-shot-treatment-for-women","21":"tag-oshot","22":"tag-today-news","23":"tag-tripti-raheja"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/595240","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=595240"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/595240\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/593737"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=595240"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=595240"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=595240"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
