Congenital Disorders

Congenital disorders are health conditions present from birth, resulting from genetic factors, environmental influences, or a combination of both. These disorders can affect various body systems, including the heart, brain, or bones, and may range from mild to severe. Common examples include congenital heart defects and Down syndrome. While some congenital disorders are easily detectable at birth, others might not manifest until later in life. Early diagnosis and intervention can significantly improve quality of life and may help manage symptoms effectively, making awareness and understanding of these conditions important for parents and healthcare providers.
