Congenital disorders are medical conditions that are present at birth. They can result from genetic factors, environmental influences during pregnancy, or a combination of both. These disorders can affect various parts of the body, including the heart, brain, and limbs, and may lead to physical or developmental challenges.
Some common examples of congenital disorders include Down syndrome, spina bifida, and congenital heart defects. Early diagnosis and intervention can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life for affected individuals. Treatment options may include surgery, therapy, and medication, depending on the specific condition.
