Congenital anomaly

A congenital anomaly is a health condition or physical difference that is present at birth. These anomalies can affect the structure or function of the baby's body, such as cleft lip, heart defects, or limb abnormalities. They result from genetic factors, environmental influences during pregnancy, or a combination of both. While some anomalies are minor and may not require treatment, others can impact health and may need medical intervention. Early detection and management can improve outcomes, and many children with congenital anomalies lead healthy lives with proper care.
