Homeopathy Medicine for Cystic Fibrosis

A hereditary condition called cystic fibrosis (CF) causes the body to produce thick, sticky mucus that can clog the pancreas and the lungs.

A defective gene in CF patients causes the normally thin and slippery secretions—mucus, sweat, and digestive juices—to thicken and stick, blocking tubes, ducts, and passageways, particularly in the lungs and pancreas. Cystic fibrosis affects the cells that produce these secreted fluids.

Improvements in screening and treatments mean that people with CF may now live into their mid- to late 30s or 40s, and some are living into their 50s, even though cystic fibrosis is progressive and necessitates daily care, they typically have a better quality of life than people with CF did in previous decades.

Symptoms of Cystic fibrosis

Even in the same person, symptoms may worsen or improve over time depending on the severity of the disease. Some people may not experience symptoms until their teenage years or adulthood. People who are diagnosed with cystic fibrosis in adulthood typically have milder disease and are more likely to have atypical symptoms, such as recurrent episodes of an inflamed pancreas (pancreatitis), infertility, and recurrent pneumonia.

Parents frequently taste salt when kissing their children as a result of cystic fibrosis, and the majority of the disease’s other signs and symptoms are digestive and respiratory system-related.

Respiratory signs and symptoms

The tubes that carry air into and out of your lungs become blocked by the thick, sticky mucus associated with cystic fibrosis, which can result in signs and symptoms like:

• the production of thick mucus (sputum) from a persistent cough
• Wheezing
• Exercise intolerance
• Repeated lung infections
• nasal passages that are inflamed or a stuffy nose
• Recurrent sinusitis

Digestive signs and symptoms

Because your intestines lack the necessary digestive enzymes to fully absorb the nutrients in your food, thick mucus can also obstruct the tubes that carry these enzymes from your pancreas to your small intestine. The outcome is frequently

• Foul-smelling, greasy stools
• poor growth and weight gain
• intestinal obstruction (meconium ileus), especially in newborns
• Constipation that is chronic or severe may include frequent straining to pass stools, which can eventually lead to rectal prolapse, or the protrusion of part of the rectum outside the anus.

Causes of Cystic fibrosis

Thicker, stickier mucus in the respiratory, digestive, and reproductive systems, as well as more salt in sweat, are symptoms of cystic fibrosis, which is caused by a defect (mutation) in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene.

Gene defects can take many different forms, and the severity of a condition depends on the type of gene mutation that occurs.

For a child to have cystic fibrosis, one copy of the gene must be inherited from each parent; if only one copy is inherited, the child will not have the disease, but they will be carriers and may pass the gene to their own offspring.

Risk factors

Although it affects people of all races, white people of Northern European ancestry are the most likely to have cystic fibrosis (CF), which is an inherited disorder that runs in families and is one risk factor.

Complications

In addition to other organs, the digestive, reproductive, and respiratory systems can all be impacted by cystic fibrosis complications.

Respiratory system complications

• Damaged airways (bronchiectasis).One of the main contributors to bronchiectasis, a chronic lung disease characterized by abnormal widening and scarring of the airways (bronchial tubes), which makes it more difficult to move air into and out of the lungs and clear mucus from the bronchial tubes, is cystic fibrosis.
• Chronic infections.People with cystic fibrosis frequently experience sinus infections, bronchitis, or pneumonia, and infection with bacteria that is resistant to antibiotics and challenging to treat is common. Thick mucus in the lungs and sinuses provides an ideal breeding ground for bacteria and fungi.
• Growths in the nose (nasal polyps).Polyps are soft, fleshy growths that can appear on the inside of the nose due to the swelling and inflammation of the nasal lining.
• Coughing up blood (hemoptysis).Blood can be coughed up from bronchiectasis, which can develop next to blood vessels in the lungs, and while this blood is frequently only a small amount, it can be fatal due to the airway damage and infection that result.
• Pneumothorax.Pneumothorax is a condition where air leaks into the space between the lungs and the chest wall, causing part or all of a lung to collapse. This is more common in adults with cystic fibrosis, and people often experience sudden chest pain and shortness of breath.
• Respiratory failure.Lung function typically deteriorates gradually, and it eventually can become life-threatening. Respiratory failure is the most common cause of death. Over time, cystic fibrosis can damage lung tissue so severely that it no longer functions.
• Acute exacerbations.This is known as an acute exacerbation and is treated with antibiotics. Sometimes treatment can be given at home, but hospitalization may be necessary. Decreased energy and weight loss are also frequently experienced during exacerbations. People with cystic fibrosis may experience worsening of their respiratory symptoms, such as coughing up more mucus and shortness of breath.

Digestive system complications

• Nutritional deficiencies.Your body cannot absorb protein, fats, or fat-soluble vitamins without these enzymes, so you cannot get enough nutrients. This can cause delayed growth, weight loss, or pancreatic inflammation. Thick mucus can obstruct the tubes that carry digestive enzymes from your pancreas to your intestines.
• Diabetes.Cystic fibrosis raises the risk of diabetes, which affects 40% to 50% of adults with CF and 20% to 30% of teenagers with the disease. The pancreas produces insulin, which your body needs to use sugar.
• Liver disease.Jaundice, fatty liver disease, cirrhosis, and occasionally gallstones can result from an inflamed and blocked tube that transports bile from your liver and gallbladder to your small intestine.
• Intestinal obstruction.People with cystic fibrosis can develop intestinal blockages at any age, and they can also develop intussusception, a condition in which a section of the intestine slides inside an adjacent section of the intestine like a telescope that collapses.
• Distal intestinal obstruction syndrome (DIOS).DIOS, or diverticular intestinal obstruction syndrome, is a condition that necessitates immediate medical attention.

Reproductive system complications

• Infertility in men.Because the vas deferens, which connects the testes and the prostate gland, is almost always blocked with mucus or absent entirely in men with cystic fibrosis, they are almost all infertile. However, some fertility treatments and surgical procedures can sometimes help these men become biological fathers.
• Reduced fertility in women.The signs and symptoms of cystic fibrosis can worsen during pregnancy, so be sure to discuss the potential risks with your doctor. Although women with cystic fibrosis may be less fertile than other women, it is still possible for them to conceive and to have successful pregnancies.

Other complications

• Thinning of the bones (osteoporosis).People with cystic fibrosis may experience joint pain, arthritis, and muscle pain, and they are more likely to develop a dangerous thinning of the bones.
• Electrolyte imbalances and dehydration.People with cystic fibrosis may be more susceptible to dehydration because of the saltier sweat they produce, which may throw off the balance of minerals in their blood, especially when they exercise or are exposed to high temperatures.
• Mental health problems.Fear, depression, and anxiety can arise from living with a chronic condition that has no known cure.
