The end of Viagra? New stem-cell jab that could cure men of erectile dysfunction is developed by scientists
Scientists believe they have discovered a new stem-cell sex treatment that will consign Viagra to history and cure men of erectile dysfunction.
They found in recent trials that injecting 20m stem cells into the base of the penis could reinvigorate the nerves and blood vessels.
Doing this will even make the organ larger, which is something Viagra has never achieved.
The Sunday Times reports that the research has so far been aimed at men who have had their prostate glands removed because of cancer.
This can cause degeneration of the nerves and blood vessels in the penis, making it shrink.
Professor Soren Sheikh, director of the Danish Centre for Regenerative Medicine, will reveal further details at a meeting for European Society for Human Reproduction and Embryology in Barcelona this July.
He said that the men's regained function had lasted more than a year so far but larger trials over a longer period were required.
