Salty & Sexy: CF Reproductive & Sexual Health (Part 1)

  • Summary

  • Sexual and reproductive health isn’t always talked about in CF clinic—but we think it should be part of normal clinic discourse. In episode 3 of It’s a Lung Story, Ahmet, Lauren, and Andrea are joined by two incredible guests; pulmonologists Dr. Raksha Jain and Dr. Traci Kazmerski, national leaders in CF sexual health research and absolute pros at keeping it real. Together, we talk about how modulators are shifting fertility expectations, what male infertility in CF actually means, the pregnancy boom, and why pH levels matter more than you’d think.

    We also get into why CF care teams need to talk more openly about contraception, capacitation (look it up!), and yes—there’s a chocolate visual you’ll never unhear.

    And don’t worry—there was so much good stuff we had to split this one in two. Part 2 will drop on 4/30—we'll we tackle menopause, intimacy, hormone therapy, and things you didn't even know you wanted to hear about.:
