Ciliary dyskinesia

Ciliary dyskinesia is a condition where the tiny hair-like structures called cilia, which line the respiratory tract and other areas, don't move properly. These cilia normally help clear mucus, germs, and debris from the lungs and nasal passages. When their movement is abnormal, it can lead to frequent lung infections, sinus issues, and problems with fertility. The condition is often inherited and can vary in severity. Proper diagnosis and management are important to reduce complications and improve quality of life.
