This distinction between infertility and sterility is key to understanding the effects of cf on male reproduction. Even though the vas deferens is missing, the sperm are not. In fact, sperm production in the testicles is normal in 90 percent of men with cf and cbavd, meaning that most men with cf can still have biological children through assisted reproductive technology (art). Your doctor should be able to give you a referral to a urologist (or male reproductive expert), who can use medical tests to confirm whether you are infertile. Although the cause of cbavd is not conclusively known, it is thought to be associated with cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (cftr) gene mutations that also cause problems in the pancreas and lungs.

Chronic use of marijuana may greatly impact male fertility and reproductive outcomes, says a new report published online in the journal fertility & sterility. The study is the first to assess the impacts of substance use on testicular function via a mode of delivery, and dosage, that reflects current human consumption. Clinician-scientists at the oregon national primate research center at oregon health & science university, monitored the reproductive systems of healthy male nonhuman primates following exposure to delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, or thc — the main psychoactive ingredient in marijuana. The nonhuman primates, all of reproductive age with a history of proven paternity and no prior exposure to cannabis, received a thc edible once daily over the course of seven months.
