Nine Swedish women receive womb transplants

[dipsydoodle]

Nine women in Sweden have received womb transplants from living relatives in a pioneering trial.

Dr Mats Brannstrom, of the University of Gothenberg, who has been leading the experimental fertility project, hopes the technique could help other women who want to become pregnant.

He says up to 15,000 women in the UK could stand to benefit.

This includes women either born without a womb or who have womb problems that stop them conceiving.
