Cystic Fibrosis
Print E-mail

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is hereditary disease. The name cystic fibrosis refers to the characteristic scarring (fibrosis) and cyst formation within the pancreas. Difficulty breathing is the most serious symptom.

A multitude of other symptoms, including sinus infections, poor growth, diarrhoea and infertility result from the effects of CF on other parts of the body. Cystic Fibrosis causes the body to produce thick secretions that particularly affect the lungs and digestive tract. This makes it hard to breathe and digest food. Symptoms of CF can also include a troublesome cough, repeated chest infections, prolonged diarrhoea and poor weight gain.
Cystic Fibrosis affects a number of organs. It is common for people with CF to encounter some difficulties with their lungs.

A combination of physiotherapy and medication can help control lung infections and prevent lung damage. To avoid the risk of cross-infection, it is recommended that people with CF do not come into close contact with others with Cystic Fibrosis.
