A woman in her 40s says she’s having sex like she’s in her 20s again – thanks to ‘female Viagra’.
Roxanne Merchant, from Leeds, started hating sex after suffering peri-menopausal symptoms.
Desperate for an answer, Ms Merchant, 44, decided to give the £899 O-Shot a go.
Also known as a ‘vampire facial’ for the vagina, it involves injecting a woman’s own blood directly into her intimate area.
Ms Merchant, who works in marketing, noticed an improvement after just one shot.
Roxanne Merchant, 44, from Leeds, said her sex life is as good as it was when she was 20. She describes the treatment as ‘the female version of Viagra’
She said: ‘I have sex like I’m 20 again and need to catch my breath after orgasms – even my partner was like “wow”.
‘(Before this) every time I had sex I had to use lube more and more.
‘If I used something like bath bombs, even organic ones, they made everything worse.
‘It got to the stage where I had to wear granny pants so I wouldn’t be as irritated and sore, but I would (still) notice little scratches or rips or tears underneath because of the dryness.’
The injections are of platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Plasma is called ‘liquid gold’ for its yellowish color and range of benefits. Platelets, meanwhile, are a type of blood cell essential for healing.
A similar treatment – to the face to remove wrinkles – was popularized by the likes of Kim Kardashian and Gwyneth Paltrow.
NHS clinics already offer PRP injections to patients with injured knees or tendons to stimulate the healing process.
But private sites are now also using it as a libido booster.
It is said to increase sensation, tighten vaginal laxity and help women experience amazing orgasms.
Ms. Merchant found Dr. Farzana Khan after researching the treatment, who was the only doctor in the North of England to offer the ‘O-shot’
Clinics also claim that it stimulates collagen production, a natural decline of which can lead to burning sensations, bleeding and pain during sex.
Ms Merchant came across the ‘O-Shot’ after researching treatments for peri-menopause and knowing some friends who had also had the procedure in the US.
Eventually she found Dr. Farzana Khan, who was the only doctor in the north of England to offer the treatment. She had her PRP removed RegenLab before it was inserted into her vagina.
She said: ‘I was a bit nervous at first and didn’t know what to expect, but the first part of the treatment was a consultation about what to expect.’
Ms Merchant claims the treatment was painless with “not even mild discomfort” and no downtime needed afterwards.
She added: ‘A course of three treatments was recommended to me and now the sensation and hydration is just amazing and this really changed my life.
‘It’s like the female version of Viagra.
‘Women shouldn’t suffer in silence and have to use things like lube when we know it’s sticky and just adds to the problem.
“My confidence in the bedroom is through the roof because I don’t have to worry about how I’m going to feel after sex, and I don’t have to rush to the bathroom to shower.
‘I’ve never been able to orgasm through my G-spot, but I’m experiencing it now too.’
But it’s not just her sex life that has been transformed by the treatment, it’s also the appearance of her vagina. “It looks more rejuvenated and youthful,” she added.
