PRP Treatment for Erectile Dysfunction & Peyronie's Disease
MHC Regenerative Tissue Therapy: using your own blood’s natural healing properties to support tissue repair and blood flow. Also known as PRP, or informally as the “P-Shot.”
PRP treatment, sometimes called the P-Shot, uses a concentrated sample of your own blood, rich in growth factors, injected into penile tissue to support repair and blood flow.
At Male Health Clinic, this is delivered as MHC Regenerative Tissue Therapy, used alongside our existing programmes to support men with erectile dysfunction and Peyronie’s disease.
You're Not the Only One Asking About This
If you’ve spent time searching “PRP for ED” or “P-Shot near me”, trying to work out whether this is a genuine medical treatment or a marketing gimmick, you’re asking exactly the right question. It’s one of the treatments men ask us about most, and it deserves a straight, evidence-led answer.
What Is PRP, Actually?
PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma. A small sample of your own blood is taken and spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, which contain growth factors involved in the body’s natural repair processes. That concentrate is then injected into specific areas of the penis, with the aim of supporting new blood vessel formation and tissue repair: in erectile dysfunction, that means supporting vascular health; in Peyronie’s disease, supporting the scar tissue (plaque) that causes curvature.
You’ll most often see this treatment marketed online as the “P-Shot”, the informal name coined in the US for penile PRP injections. We deliver PRP under the name MHC Regenerative Tissue Therapy, because it more accurately describes what’s happening: a regenerative medicine technique aimed at tissue repair, not a quick-fix jab. Wherever you see “PRP”, “P-Shot” or “Regenerative Tissue Therapy” on this site, we mean the same treatment.
How MHC Regenerative Tissue Therapy Works
- Confidential assessment: we review your history, discuss whether PRP is suitable for you, and set realistic expectations before anything is booked.
- Blood draw: a small blood sample is taken on the day of treatment, the same way as a routine blood test.
- Preparation: the sample is spun in a centrifuge for around 15 minutes to isolate the platelet-rich plasma.
- Injection: local anaesthetic cream is applied first, then the PRP is injected into the targeted treatment area.
The full appointment typically takes under an hour, with clear aftercare guidance and most men back to normal activity the same or next day. Treatment is delivered as a single session. Many men choose to combine it with our structured Rehabilitation Programme, which includes Focused Shockwave Therapy, and additional sessions are available if you and Stephen agree that’s the right next step.
Who Performs Your Treatment
MHC Regenerative Tissue Therapy is carried out personally by Stephen Carter, founder of Male Health Clinic. Stephen’s clinical background spans military service and musculoskeletal rehabilitation, and he is a practitioner member of the British Society for Sexual Medicine (BSSM). Every PRP treatment begins with a face to face consultation with Stephen. You will never be treated by someone whose name isn’t on this page.
What the Clinical Evidence Shows
A 2024 randomised, placebo-controlled trial at the University of Miami followed 41 men with Peyronie’s disease receiving PRP or placebo injections. PRP was found to be safe, with no adverse events reported. Effectiveness results were mixed: some measures, including penile curvature at six months, showed a statistically significant improvement, while others, including erectile function scores, showed no significant change. Researchers described the pattern as consistent with a delayed PRP effect and called for further research to confirm its long-term value.
This is why we describe outcomes as typical experience rather than a guarantee, and why Stephen discusses PRP as one part of a wider treatment plan at your assessment, alongside options like Focused Shockwave Therapy, rather than a standalone promise.
What PRP Costs
| Treatment | Price |
|---|---|
| MHC Regenerative Tissue Therapy Single session | £949 |
| Combined with ED / Peyronie’s Rehabilitation Programme Six rehabilitation sessions plus PRP | From £2,359 Save £365 versus booking separately |

These prices sit alongside our published Price Tariff, which lists the full cost of every treatment we offer.
What PRP Doesn't Do
- The evidence base, while encouraging, is still developing. Results vary between men, and outcomes are not guaranteed.
- PRP is not suitable for everyone. It isn’t appropriate for men on certain blood-thinning medication, with clotting disorders, or with an active infection, which is exactly what your confidential assessment is for.
- PRP is not a substitute for urgent medical care. Sudden, severe penile curvature, a persistent painful erection, or suspected penile injury need same-day GP or urology assessment, not a booking with us.
- A single session is a starting point, not necessarily an endpoint. Some men see meaningful change from one session; others choose an additional session once they and Stephen have reviewed progress.
How PRP Compares to Other Options
| Comparison | PRP Regenerative Tissue Therapy | Focused Shockwave Therapy | Oral Medication PDE5 Inhibitors | Surgery |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| How it works | Growth factors from your own blood are injected to support tissue repair. | Sound waves stimulate blood vessel growth and circulation. | Increases blood flow at the time of use. | Physically corrects curvature or restores rigidity. |
| Invasiveness | Minimally invasive injection. | Non-invasive. | Non-invasive tablet. | Invasive surgical procedure. |
| Typical course | A single session, with further sessions available if needed. | Six sessions over six weeks. | Taken as needed or daily. | A one-off procedure with recovery time. |
| Best suited to | Men wanting a regenerative, non-daily approach. | Men wanting a non-drug, non-invasive first option. | Men wanting an on-demand solution. | More severe or unresponsive cases. |
| Considerations | Evidence is still developing, and effects build gradually. | It is not guaranteed to work for every man. | It does not address the underlying cause. | Higher risk, longer recovery and usually considered as a later-stage option. |
There is no single “best” option. The right choice depends on your presentation, your history and what you have already tried, which is exactly what your confidential assessment is for.
How to Tell a Credible PRP Clinic From a Marketing Exercise
PRP and the “P-Shot” are widely marketed, and not every clinic offering them is equally thorough. A few questions are worth asking before you book anywhere:
- Is the person performing the treatment named on the website, with their actual background visible, not just a stock photo and a job title?
- Does the clinic explain the evidence honestly, including where it’s still developing, rather than presenting PRP as a proven cure?
- Is pricing published clearly, without needing a phone call to find out what anything costs?
- Does treatment start with a proper, individual consultation, not a same-day injection with no assessment first?
- Does the clinic make guaranteed-outcome claims? That’s a red flag, not a selling point.
We’ve built this page, and every treatment page on this site, to answer yes to each of those honestly.
This Is About More Than the Mechanics
For a lot of men, especially after years of living with ED or Peyronie’s, this isn’t only a physical question. It’s about feeling like yourself again, in your own body, without needing to explain or apologise for it. PRP is one option we discuss at your assessment alongside shockwave therapy and other approaches, so the plan fits you, not the other way round. There’s no pressure to commit to anything on a first conversation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is PRP the same as the P-Shot?
Yes. "P-Shot" is the informal name that has become common online for PRP injections used for erectile dysfunction and Peyronie's disease. At Male Health Clinic we deliver the same treatment under the name MHC Regenerative Tissue Therapy.
Does PRP treatment hurt?
Most men describe mild discomfort rather than significant pain. Local anaesthetic cream is applied to the treatment area before the injection.
How soon will I see results?
PRP tends to have a delayed rather than immediate effect. Changes usually build gradually over the weeks and months following treatment rather than appearing straight away.
Is PRP safe?
Because it uses your own blood rather than a synthetic drug, the risk of allergic reaction is low. As with any injection it is not entirely risk free, which is why a confidential assessment comes before any treatment.
Do I need a referral?
No referral is needed. You can book a confidential assessment directly with us.
Can PRP be combined with shockwave therapy?
Yes. Many men combine MHC Regenerative Tissue Therapy with our Rehabilitation Programme, which includes Focused Shockwave Therapy, as part of a single structured plan.
The First Step Is a Confidential Assessment
If you’d like to understand what’s going on in your specific case, the first step is a free, confidential informal chat. No pressure, no obligation just a straightforward conversation about what you’re experiencing and what your options are.
