Can people with cystic fibrosis have children?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Varies: Men are often sterile due to the absence of the vas deferens (a tube that carries sperm). Not all men with CF are sterile, though. Women can usually have children. Depending on the severity of their disease this may not be recommended.
