What exactly is Cystic Fibrosis of the ovaries?

My doctor just diagnosed me with cystic fibrosis of the ovaries and Im worried because I don't know exactly what it is besides cyst on the ovaries. What all symptoms, problems????

Either you are misinformed and your doctor is not a very reputabole doctor, or you misunderstood his diagnosis. Cystic Fibrosis is a disease that generally affects the lungs, not the ovaries. I am guessing he/she may have diagnosed you with cysts or fibroid tumors on the ovaries, which is nothing really to worry about. I have added a few links for you to check out to ease your mind.

do you mean polycystic ovaries?
Because cystic fibrosis is a lung condition.

Polycystic ovaries sounds like the right term. Ask your doctor the symptoms, problems, and treatment options, not people here for medical advise.

Cystic Fibrosis

Symptoms:
Symptoms of cystic fibrosis are usually caused by the production of thick, sticky mucus. Symptoms vary from person to person and are not always obvious in childhood.

Early signs and symptoms
Symptoms of cystic fibrosis in a baby or young child may include:

A blocked small intestine at birth, called a meconium plug or meconium ileus.
Salty sweat or skin.
Not wanting to eat, having little energy, or losing weight. This is sometimes called failure to thrive.
Unusual bowel movements. This may include diarrhea that does not go away; large, greasy stools; very smelly stools; or constipation. If the intestines become blocked, the child's belly may stick out and the child may not be able to have a bowel movement.
Breathing problems or getting tired easily while playing.
A cough that does not go away or wheezing.

Good luck whatever the condition you have.
