Is it good to use hot tubs and steam rooms when you have Cystic Fibrosis?

---

I'm 15 and I joined a health club that has a hot tub, steam rooms and saunas and I have Cystic Fibrosis. Are these things good to use or not with my condition and for how long at a time?
I'm not really sure but you'll have to be careful in a public place if your immune system is down because people will be spreading minor infections that might be hard for people with CF to fight .
I would think that it might relax your system but i'm just guessing , you should ask your doctor just to be sure .
I hope this helps and good luck :)  (+ info)

How do you get rid of a cystic pimple or prevent them?

---

I have suffered from acne since I was 12 and it's gotten a lot better, but I still get some bad pimples frequently. My face will be clear for a few days then I will get a big cystic pimple on my cheek or chin area. They are so painful and hard to get rid of. They seem to stay longer also and leave big scars. How can I treat/prevent these?
•Here are just a few tips to help with your quest to beat acne:

1. Clean your skin regularly with a good cleanser to keep your pores clear and avoid oil and dirt clogging them.
2. Do not squeeze your pimples, by squeezing them you can spread the bacteria over other parts of your skin causing more pimples.
3. Eat a good balanced diet, a healthy diet will go a long way to keeping your skin clear.
4. Drink lots of water which will hydrate your skin and flush out the impurities.
5. Sometimes stress can't be avoided, but you can make some changes so that you deal with stress more effectively.

These are just a few tips that can be followed quite easily and will really go a long way in your battle with your acne.

A healthy lifestyle is the key ingredient to healthy skin!

Is a cystic fibrosis screening test required when you are having an IUI procedure done with donor sperm?

---

The fertility clinic I am going to requires I do a cystic fibrosis screening test before being having an IUI procedure with donor sperm. I do not want this screening, and do not think I should be required to take it. It also costs $150 and takes 4 weeks to get the results. Does anyone know if this is truly a requirement? I am having trouble finding any information online. Thanks!
You should be able to have this screening done at your OB office and have it covered by insurance. I have cf in my family so the screening (blood was taken, that's it) happened when I was 5 weeks pregnant. My insurance covered it and luckily I wasn't a carrier. But I know two people who were screened and who did not think they were carriers, but they were. There's a high prevalence among Caucasians. So it's not a bad idea to have it done if you are white. Good luck.  (+ info)

How much does a lung transplant help with cystic fibrosis?

---

A couple of days ago, a guy I knew back in my hometown got a double lung transplant. He has cystic fibrosis. I know removiing the lungs takes away the bacteria but does it get rid of the disease?
nope it gets rid of the lung problem but doesn't cure the person, cystic fibrosis does not only affect the lungs but the pancreas as well...it inhibits the pancreas' abiltiy to secrete enzymes need for digestion which causes poor growth, fatty diarrhea and deficiency in fat-soluble vitamins.

cystic fibrosis is a multi system disease  (+ info)

What is the life expectancy after a double lung transplant if you have Cystic Fibrosis?

---

My little sister is a teenager and has Cystic Fibrosis. Her doctor said she will need to have a double lung transplant eventually...her lung function is not good, and she gets frequent infections. She also has a lot of problems with digesting and has to have a feeding tube to provide extra nutrients. I was wondering, does anyone who's knowledgeable know what the life expectancy is after a double lung transplant considering she has Cystic Fibrosis? And the probability of just surviving the lung transplant surgery?
I don't know but I would guess it would double her age, she would have new lungs but they would wear down like her original lungs.  (+ info)

How do you treat cystic acne?

---

I have cystic acne and i have yet to find an over the counter product that will help me. I do not want to go to a dermatologist because it is too expensive. What products work well, does anyone have any home remedies?
Well,cystic acne results from sensitive skin.The best thing u could do is by using an intensive skincare treatment to improve ur skin sensitivity so that no new breakouts will occur.Just cleanse,tone and moisturize twice a day to regulate ur sebaceous glands and prevent new breakouts.Use a purifying mask once a week to detoxify ur face.Facial treatment could enhance ur healing process too.And when ur acne becomes scars,include a scar serum to improve ur skin complexion.Good luck...  (+ info)
