Paternity with Cystic Fibrosis

In this information capsule we talk about fatherhood in Cystic Fibrosis when the man has Cystic Fibrosis.
What are the chances of a man with Cystic Fibrosis becoming a biological father?
Dani Carvajal, a young man with CF, is the father of a 5-year-old girl. He tells us how his life has changed after the birth of his daughter, mainly with the planning of his day-to-day life, travel, sleeping hours and everything in general. She emphasises that everything has changed for the better.
When it comes to managing his Cystic Fibrosis treatment, Dani comments that he has to cut down on sleep in order to combine his parental obligations with his treatment. Specifically, treatment schedules come after he has finished with the child's routines and the household.
The paternity process for a man with Cystic Fibrosis begins with a referral to urology for a spermatogram and physical examination. The vas deferens is checked to see if there is a vas deferens and then referred to the fertility service.
In cases where there is no known disease, it is recommended that the couple spend a year trying to have offspring naturally. In the case of Cystic Fibrosis, with all the tests and history, in-vitro fertilisation is carried out.
This process consists of the extraction of spermatozoa through the spermatozoa to be applied to three ovulation cycles of the woman. In Dani's case, they arrived at the third ovulation. Dani says that the extraction is done while the man is awake and that it hurts a little. Tissue is removed from inside the testicle where the sperm are found and preserved through cryopreservation.
Once the process is finished, if a sample is left, the man can take it to a company to be stored using the same cryogenic system.
