Men and women with CF can have biological kids, but fertility has not always been priorities of CF care. As people with CF live longer, healthier lives than before, more men and women must make crucial decisions about their reproductive health.
Although CF may have consequences for your reproductive health, it does not diminish sexual performance or the desire for intimacy. People with CF may worry about experiencing shortness of breath, coughing or hemoptysis (coughing up blood or blood-stained mucus), but these problems should not keep them from enjoying a normal, fulfilling sex life.
This is an exciting time in cystic fibrosis clinical research. Not only are there several clinical trials of therapies to treat the underlying cause of CF, but there are also many trials to treat key symptoms of CF and improve quality of life. These include studies of antibiotics and anti-inflammatories to treat lung infections and inflammation, as well as treatments to improve nutrition and digestion.
