What are P-Shot risks?

Risk is the question that should come before the booking, not after it. Two sources say different things about it, and the difference matters.

Risk in brief

One source lists the risks, and a second argues they are not worth it. The publisher my.clevelandclinic.org states: "Risks include bruising, swelling and discoloration."

A harsher judgment comes from ipscell.com, which took on the P shot and O shot in a review and concluded: "Overall, there is more risk than potential benefit."

Reading the two together

The first source lists what can happen. The second weighs it against what the shot is expected to deliver. A list of risks that sounds mild can still lose that comparison if the benefit is small.

Read both before you decide. The Cleveland Clinic page on the P-Shot covers how it works and what it offers, and the ipscell.com review is the skeptical counterpart.

After the shot, or instead of it

If you go ahead, the next stage is watching for the bruising, swelling and discoloration the first source lists. If you hold off, the next stage is finding out what is behind the problem the shot was meant to address.

For that, the Cleveland Clinic overview of erectile dysfunction covers causes, diagnosis and treatment.

When the real question is the ED itself

A reader whose real question is erectile dysfunction, not the shot, should change the plan and start with the cause. A source that concludes the risk outweighs the benefit is also a reason to slow down before committing money.
