50% of adult males aged 40 to 70 will experience sexual changes they consider problematic, including erectile dysfunction (ED), impotence and reduced sexual performance.
The P-Shot® is a new non-surgical procedure that is proven to address male sexual health problems, often caused by natural aging, diagnosed illnesses such as diabetes or simply the poor long-term management of blood sugar, which damages nerves and blood vessels.
Our aesthetic practice is led by Doctor Athreya, who is recognised as a leading authority in the non-surgical treatment of sexual heath. Doctor Athreya is one of the first practitioners in the UK to qualify to prescribe and administer the P-Shot treatment. The painless procedure takes approx. 45 minutes and patients experience no post-appointment side effects.
If you would like to discuss the P-Shot, or the other non-surgical sexual health treatments within our comprehensive range, please call the surgery to make an appointment with Doctor Athreya on 01277 201001.
The basis of the treatment is in the novel use of PLATLET RICH PLASMA or PRP. This is obtained from the patients own blood.
PRP, when activated, releases many growth factors and activates stem cells, having the ability to rejuvenate tissues, help with repairing areas of damage, promote rapid healing of areas after surgical and dental procedures. It has been used successfully for many years.
Recently PRP has been used in the field of facial aesthetics. You may have heard of the “Vampire Facelift” where PRP either alone or with dermal fillers is used to help retain support and rejuvenate appearance of facial skin. The “O Shot” ( and “P Shot” for gentlemen) is another application of the remarkable effects of PRP in the genital area, and was invented by the same Doctor as the Vampire Facelift, Dr Charles Runels.
For gentlemen, the P shot is known to:
After a thorough consultation process, the process involves taking a sample of your blood and concentrating it to remove the PLATELET-RICH PLASMA, the healing part of the blood. This PRP contains growth factors that stimulate stem cells and cause regeneration of the local tissue within which it is injected.
After the PRP is isolated, it is injected into four points on the shaft of the penis and into the Glans. We use a local anaesthetic injection to numb the penis prior to the procedure.
Approximately 45 minutes
The procedure is very safe and well tolerated- in order to get the best quality PRP a good diet with exercise is encouraged at least two weeks prior to procedure
Following the treatment one can return to sexual activity almost immediately. Use of medication such as Cialis and Viagra is encouraged as it stimulates penile circulation helping the PRP distribution.
There may be some very mild soreness for 1-2 hours post procedure but additionally there will also be an element of numbness following the local anaesthetic that may not fully wear off until some hours have passed
This is very individual but generally we recommend 2-3 treatments over 3-4 months with yearly top-ups.
All treatments are carried out at our clinic in Shenfield, Essex. We are proud to be the first clinic to bring such treatments such as the “P” and “O” Shot to Essex

Your consultation will be with one of our fully qualified, and highly experienced doctors, and take place within a comfortable, well-equipped surgery. You will receive a thorough consultation, with ample time to properly discuss your health concerns or illness.

In addition, the appointment will also include the writing of a prescription or recommendation of further tests or treatment.
Our clinic is undergoing a very exciting transformation and I am very pleased that I am now able to share with you some wonderful news.
As you may well know, this Private GP service initially began as The Regency Clinic in 2004, under the guidance of my colleague Dr Jonathan Richardson, and was based in Regency House in Brentwood. In 2012, the clinic moved to our current location in Hutton Road, Shenfield, and I had the privilege of taking over as Clinical Director in 2014.
Over the years, our services to our patients have grown, particularly since I was joined by Dr Alice Scott in 2016. In 2022 Dr Eleanor Beddoe also became part of our regular team. Over recent years, Surgery hours and services have expanded, we have regularly run two simultaneous clinics to look after our patients, and it has been clear that we have outgrown our current location.
I am therefore very pleased that I can now announce the next stage in our evolution!
On 18th June 2023, Dr Alice Scott will be taking over as Owner and Clinical Director as Essex Private Doctors Ltd., and we will be moving to our very own purpose-designed premises in 57 Crown Street, Brentwood.
Dr Scott has put in many months of hard work and planning behind the scenes, and I am delighted that she has been approved by the CQC as new Manager of the Clinic as Essex Private Doctors Ltd.
The new location has four consultation rooms and a dedicated minor surgery suite. Our rooms are on the ground and first floor, and our building is wheelchair accessible. There is good availability of car parking in the Coptfold Road multistorey car park directly opposite, or the Chatham Way surface level car park a couple of minutes’ walk away. Dedicated blue badge parking is available onsite.
I will continue to work my normal hours at Essex Private Doctors Ltd, as will Dr Scott and Dr Beddoe. We will also have more practitioners joining us to improve patient choice and appointment availability, Dr Henry Grundy-Wheeler is a very experienced GP who will be joining us at the end of June.
Our duty of care to you will remain unchanged and our core values of providing excellent medical care and availability will remain. We know that this move will only enhance convenience and patient experience, and we will now be able to offer more services to our patients.
Our new website will be launched on 18th June giving further information and full details of our new clinic.
I would like to take this opportunity as outgoing manager to thank all our patients for their trust and loyalty over the years, especially during the challenging times of Covid. Under the expert guidance of Dr Scott, I know that we will be offering a Private GP service that is second to none and I hope that we can count on your continuing support.
Dr Kannan Athreya
