Letter V ( A to Z of CF 2014)

This one may get a little full of technical terms but bear with me. 

V is for Vas deferens. 

Although men who have CF can enjoy a normal sex life, they are almost always (in about 98% of cases) infertile due to failure of the vas deferens, the tube which carries sperm from the testis to the penis, to develop properly. Normally the vas deferens carries the newly made sperm to the back of the prostate gland where it joins the outlets of the seminal vesicles. The sperm can then be released into the semen during intercourse. In CF the vas deferens almost always fails to develop properly.

Thankfully due to all the advancements in modern medicine people with CF can go on to be parents if they choose to. This is because they are they are infertile but not sterile. 

Just another way to show how CF affects the whole body and you would never even know with this invisible disease. Modern medicine and their advancements everyday give hope to people living with CF to try and enjoy the little things that we all take for granted.
