It effects the body in a number of ways:
(1) Lungs- It is common for people with CF to encounter some difficulties with their lungs. But 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, which is why in so many hospitals people with CF are segregated.
(2) Digestive System- mucus blocks the digestive system making it hard for people with cystic fibrosis to digest food. This can be helped with the medicine "Creon" which is an enzyme which helps to break food down.
(3) Meconium ileus- In every ten babies born with CF, one is ill in the first few days of life with a bowel obstruction known as Meconium Ileus.
(4) Bones- due to the nutritional and other problems involved with the disease
(5) Infertility- Although people with CF are not deemed as 100% infertile, most men with Cf are due to blockages in the tubes that carry sperm, which causes infertility. Because underweight women are more likely to have irregular menstrual cycles, the nutritional problems associated with CF may affect fertility.
(6) Liver- Cystic Fibrosis can cause the blockage of small ducts in the liver. This only happens to approximately 8% of people who have CF, but it is a serious health risk and may necessitate a liver transplant
