In today's "General Discussion" offerings, there's a new thread that references "PRP."

I haven't a clue. Could we get that added to the acronym list?

I think it is prostate reduction procdure

As far as this forum is concerned:

"Platelet-rich penile therapy"

Otherwise it is:

"Platelet-rich plasma" which is, I guess, the same basic thing but it's used for other stuff besides dicks.

For an example see:

It is also not one of the main stream treatments not covered by insurance. Dont you think protate reduction procedure would be more appropriate. There are at least 2 that are used Rezum snd urolift. Both are covered by insurance and seem alot more appropriate
