Pathological conditions refer to diseases or disorders that disrupt normal bodily functions. These conditions can arise from various factors, including infections, genetic mutations, or environmental influences. They often lead to symptoms that can affect a person's overall health and well-being. Common examples of pathological conditions include diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. Diagnosis typically involves medical evaluations, such as blood tests or imaging studies, to identify the underlying issues. Treatment options vary depending on the condition and may include medication, surgery, or lifestyle changes to manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
