Stem-cells & female urinary incontinence

[Guest guest]

Hi & ALl,

 

 

> Stem cells can cure urinary leakage

 

Interesting article. See also http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/4051533.stm

 

That article says that the cells were injected in a one-off treatment into the

wall of the urethra near the sphincter.

 

One might ask:

 

(1) Would biologically inert silicone-type bulking of the urethral wall do the

same job, or is cell replication (from the injected stem-cells) really the key?

 

(2) Would acupuncture (or allied methods, such as laser, DIY electro-

stimulation, or vibro-massage) near the urethra do the same job?

 

Best regards,
