congenital abnormalities

Congenital abnormalities are health conditions or physical differences that are present at birth, resulting from problems during fetal development. They can affect various parts of the body, such as the heart, limbs, or organs. These abnormalities may be caused by genetic factors, environmental influences (like infections or exposure to harmful substances during pregnancy), or a combination of both. Some are minor and don’t cause major health issues, while others can be more serious and require medical intervention. Early diagnosis and treatment can often improve outcomes and quality of life for affected individuals.
