Doctors create Vagina from Stem Cells


I scoop Katie once again on all things Vagina.

"Doctors in Italy used stem cells to reconstruct vaginas for two patients suffering from rare malformations. The vaginal tissue was grown using stem cells from the patients' own bodies, ANSA said Wednesday.

In the first case, a 28-year-old woman received a tiny square of mucous membrane a year ago and has since grown a vagina. A 17-year-old girl underwent the same procedure Tuesday in Rome's Umberto I hospital. Approximately one in every 5,000 female infants is born without a vagina, the news service said."

First I told you about the girls with two vaginas, and now I find out there is a sure cure for girls born without one. Wow, Science sure is advancing quickly. I guess with 1 in 5000 women not having a vagina the market for a new stem cell vagina is bigger than just the Re-Virgin market alone.

And I am not about to make the obvious "Paris Hilton can go buy a new vagina now" joke that you all saw coming.

Stem Cell Therapy said...

ellular (cell) therapy can be defined as the use of cells to treat disease. Its origins can be traced to the early 1800s, when Dr Charles-Edward Brown-Séquard injected animal testicle extracts to stop the effects of aging, followed by Paul Niehans , who practiced cell therapy using calf embryo cells in Switzerland.Stem Cell Treatment
