Re: Stem Cell Therapy May Cure Incontinence

This is encouraging for those who experience incontinence related to failing muscles, and is also encouraging for stem cell research in other areas. But it certainly is titled incorrectly. As the majority of this group is aware, there are many other causes of urinary incontinence... but all progress is good, yes?

They're going to put a needle WHERE??? OUCH!

Stem Cell Therapy May Cure Incontinence Perhaps as early as next year, a person suffering from incontinence will be able to undergo a procedure in which cells from his or her own body are used to repair muscles in weakened bladders or damaged sphincters.

I second your thought JT,

This would be a terrific therapy if the MUSCLES are damaged, but I believe that our common problem is that our nerves are the damaged item in question. But it is all a step in the right direction.

Just my thought,

That article was dated 2001, is there any update on it? Did they

start applying it as yet?
