Congenital Blood Disorders

Congenital blood disorders are conditions present at birth that affect the blood's ability to function properly. These disorders can result from genetic mutations and may involve problems with red blood cells, white blood cells, or platelets. Common examples include sickle cell disease, which affects red blood cell shape, and hemophilia, a condition that impairs blood clotting. Symptoms can range from fatigue and easy bruising to severe bleeding. Management often includes medication, blood transfusions, and regular medical care to help maintain health and prevent complications. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for better outcomes.
