stem cell transplant or therapy
Posted , 8 users are following.
I wanted to say that my regular gynocologist shared with me when she diagnosed LS, that she has a patient, who went to Italy, for sometype of stem cell therapy. I do not know what happened, in terms of results, but plan to ask, the next time I see her. I am in the US. Has anyone heard anything about this treatment? It may seem radical, but I understand why one would do it. It probably is expensive, and not covered by insurance. I would like to know, though. Cynthia

I go back to my vulvar specialist in a couple of months. I will ask her about such a treatment.
I am guessing these are not plant stem cells, but embryo. I thought such treatments were still in the research stage. I will do some research on the research. I am in the US, by the way.

Oh! I should say this: I put Vulvar Specialists in my search engine and my town, and all sorts of options popped up. I was very surprised indeed.

I've only been twice to RF hospital and initially saw Wendy Reid - I don't know her official title. When I went back I saw a different doctor who was described to me as a vulvar specialist. I really don't know the difference. All I know is that the RF hospital clinic is supposed to be the top place in the country for LS (this is what a nurse told me there) and it was this vulvar specialist doctor that confirmed they do the stem cell proceedure there.

Royal Free is a one of London's leading hospitals dealing with everything. I think you could possibly get proceedure done on NHS if it was very bad but otherwise you would probably have to pay for it. I know they don't just offer it to everyone. I think if it was properly effecting your quality of life they might consider a patient but I really don't know to be honest. Sorry!
