Regenerative Properties

• Whatever organ or system the stem cell or haematopoietic cell of cord blood joins, that stem cell will become a cell of that organ or organ system. Stem cells have regenerative properties that are desirable for the treatment of many genetic disorders, including stress urinary incontinence.
  
  

Stress Urinary Incontinence

• Stress urinary incontinence is caused by bladder cells that do not contract. They do not have the ability to hold the bladder muscles inside the pelvic cavity and so urine leaks, leaving the body involuntarily.
  
  

Who is Affected?

• Women who've had natural childbirth and multiple pregnancies resulting in pelvic prolapse, elderly people, smokers, obese people and chronic respiratory sufferers are prone to the condition.
  
  

Wake Forest University

• Researchers from Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, N.C. found that when women were injected with the stem cells, the cells became healthy muscle cells, able to contract, and the women did not suffer as they once did.
  
  

Cryotherapy Banks Research

• Researchers at Cryopraxis and Cryo-Cell International, Inc. concluded that cord blood is a safe and effective treatment of stress urinary incontinence.
