G-Shot Puts Sparks Back In Your Sex Life

Ladies, what if we told you a simple shot could put the sparks back in your sex life. ABC26 News Reporter Catherine Shreves has more on this Beauty Breakthrough for the bedroom!

We all know what the little blue pill can do for men, but now ladies, meet the G-shot. It's a procedure that's working for one New Orleans woman who says it revitalized her marriage and put the sizzle back in her sex life.


Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. David Jansen and Gynecologist Dr. Peter Hertzak agree: all women have a G-spot.

Dr. Hertzak describes it as, "An area which in a woman's anatomy involves increased concentration of sensory elements."

You can thank Dr. Ernst Graffenberg for discovering the bean shaped erogenous zone, but some women say hold the applause.

Doctors say the reality is about 40% of women have never had an orgasm during intercourse. And although every woman has a G-Spot, they say most of us don't know where it is, or what to do with it. It was a problem one Slidell woman had, until she discovered the G-Shot.

Laura says, "I don't know anyone who's ever experienced it."

Doctors say 27-year-old Laura is not alone. Dr. Jansen says 40% of women don't have orgasms with sex.

Over the past 2 years the G-shot has been growing in popularity in places like L.A., New York and Florida and now New Orleans. Dr. Jansen says, "I think over the next couple of years you're going to hear more and more about it."

The G-shot is usually performed by plastic surgeons or gynocologists. It's a quick injection of collagen-or hyalauranic acid (the same stuff used to plump our lips and fill in wrinkles) just at the base of the bladder. because the G-spot is anatomically tucked away, the goal of the G-shot is to make the G-spot more accessible.

G-Shot's official website says that in a pilot study, 87% of women surveyed reported enhanced sexual arousal/gratification after receiving the G-Shot.

The G-Shot is a simple, non-surgical, physician-administered procedure that takes about 10 minutes. The doctor starts by numbing the area around the G-Spot, then administers the injection of the collagen or hyaluronic acid (like Juvaderm or Restalayne) filler. Doctors say it is safe, but there can be some side-effects, like bleeding, infections, urinary retention, and even a sensation of always being sexually aroused. They also add that it does not work for everyone. The filler lasts between 4-6 months, and the cost is about $1200. The procedure is usually performed by plastic surgeons or gynecologists.

Dr. Hertzak says, "Now by injecting the filler, it brings it more down and gets more stimulation during intercourse."

The procedure lasts less than 10 minutes. The area is numbed and injected with filler. Patients say the numbing shot may be uncomfortable, but 60-year-old Susan says it has put new sparks in her sex life. "It's gone from 0 to 60 in about 3 seconds flat." "My relationship with my husband has improved so much that we now act like kids."

As for Laura, "Hey, it can only get better, right? That's what I'm hoping for."

The G-shot costs about $1200. Doctors say it is safe, but for some reason, it doesn't work on everyone. The shot lasts about 4 to 6 months. Susan says that's one appointment she's not going to miss!
