Interstitial Cystitis (IC), also known as Bladder Pain Syndrome, is a chronic condition that can cause ongoing pelvic pain, bladder pressure, and urinary discomfort. For many people, traditional treatments provide only limited relief. However, new evidence suggests that Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) — and specifically, the O-Shot® procedure — may offer a breakthrough in managing symptoms.

Recent reviews, including a large evidence synthesis from China, have examined the effects of intravesical PRP therapy (PRP delivered directly into the bladder) for Interstitial Cystitis. Researchers looked at 11 studies, along with several case reports, and the results were consistently positive — showing improvements in pain, urinary frequency, and overall quality of life.

But what’s even more exciting is that some clinicians are seeing similar results using the standard O-Shot® technique — without the need for intravesical injections. In multiple anecdotal cases, women who had suffered from chronic bladder pain for years experienced remarkable relief after receiving PRP injections into the vaginal and clitoral tissues as part of the O-Shot® procedure.

These early reports suggest that PRP may help calm inflammation, repair tissue, and restore healthy nerve function, offering a natural, regenerative alternative for those with Interstitial Cystitis who haven’t responded to conventional treatments.

While larger, controlled studies are still needed to confirm these outcomes, the growing clinical experience is very encouraging. For many practitioners, the O-Shot® is proving to be a simple, minimally invasive option with potentially life-changing results.

💡 In summary

The O-Shot® — originally designed to improve sexual function and vaginal health — may also support healing and pain relief in women with Interstitial Cystitis. As research continues, it could represent a new, regenerative frontier in urogenital health.
