Sexual wellness can change over time, affecting comfort, sensation, confidence, and intimacy in ways that may feel frustrating or difficult to discuss. Menopause, andropause, childbirth, hormonal shifts, circulation, and age-related changes can influence these changes.
At Dean Wellness Institute in Vero Beach, Dr. Melissa Dean, MD, FAARFM, draws on her experience with menopause, andropause, hormone replacement therapy, and healthy aging to provide personalized sexual health care for both men and women.
Depending on the concern, treatment may include the P-Shot®, O-Shot®, EMFEMME 360, or a broader plan that considers other factors affecting sexual function and overall wellness.
Sexual Wellness Concerns We Address
Sexual health involves more than desire alone. Physical changes, hormonal balance, circulation, tissue health, and urinary concerns can all affect how patients feel and function.
Dean Wellness Institute offers care for concerns such as:
- Reduced sexual sensation
- Changes in arousal or orgasm
- Erectile function concerns
- Vaginal dryness or discomfort
- Pain during intimacy
- Changes associated with menopause or andropause
- Urinary leakage
- Reduced confidence with intimacy
Identifying the specific concern helps guide treatment toward the areas that matter most to each patient.
A Personalized Approach to Sexual Health
Different sexual wellness concerns may respond to different types of treatment. Platelet-rich plasma therapies such as the P-Shot® and O-Shot® use components from the patient's own blood, while EMFEMME 360 uses radiofrequency energy to address female intimate wellness.
Dr. Melissa Dean can also consider whether hormone balance, age-related changes, or other health factors may be contributing to symptoms. This broader perspective allows treatment to be selected based on the individual rather than using the same approach for every patient.
P-Shot® for Men
The Priapus Shot®, commonly called the P-Shot®, uses platelet-rich plasma prepared from a small sample of the patient's own blood. The PRP is then injected into targeted areas of the penis.
Men may consider the P-Shot® when they want to address concerns involving erectile function, firmness, sensitivity, circulation, or sexual performance.
Potential benefits may include:
- Improved erectile quality
- Increased sensitivity
- Support for healthy circulation
- Greater sexual confidence
- Improved response to other erectile dysfunction therapies
Because the procedure uses platelet-rich plasma obtained from the patient's own blood, no synthetic filler material is required.
O-Shot® for Women
The O-Shot® is a PRP-based treatment for women experiencing changes in sexual sensation, arousal, orgasm, lubrication, comfort, or urinary control.
During treatment, platelet-rich plasma is prepared from the patient's own blood and injected into targeted areas of the vaginal and clitoral tissues after numbing medication is applied.
Women may pursue the O-Shot® to support:
- Sexual sensation and arousal
- Orgasm quality or frequency
- Natural lubrication
- Comfort during intimacy
- Vaginal tissue wellness
- Urinary control
The procedure can be tailored to the symptoms and goals discussed during consultation.
What Happens During an O-Shot® Appointment?
Treatment begins with numbing cream applied to the targeted area. A small amount of blood is then drawn and processed to separate the platelet-rich plasma.
The prepared PRP is administered with a fine needle to selected areas involved in sexual response. The appointment is performed in-office and generally does not require an extended recovery period.
EMFEMME 360
EMFEMME 360 offers a non-surgical option for women who want to address changes in intimate wellness without injections. The treatment uses controlled radiofrequency energy to deliver volumetric heating to targeted tissues.
It may be considered for concerns related to vaginal laxity, intimate comfort, sexual wellness, or changes following childbirth and aging. Treatment is designed to be efficient and comfortable, making it easier to incorporate into a routine.
Which Sexual Wellness Treatment May Be Right for You?
The P-Shot®, O-Shot®, and EMFEMME 360 address different concerns and use different treatment methods. Men seeking support for erectile function or sensitivity may be interested in the P-Shot®, while women may consider the O-Shot® for PRP-based treatment or EMFEMME 360 for radiofrequency-based care.
Some patients may benefit from combining sexual wellness treatment with hormone management or other supportive therapies when multiple factors are contributing to their concerns.
A consultation can clarify which option best matches a patient's symptoms. In some cases, addressing hormone balance or other wellness factors may also complement sexual health treatment.
