congenital
"Congenital" refers to conditions or traits that are present at birth. These can result from genetic factors, environmental influences during pregnancy, or a combination of both. Congenital conditions can affect various parts of the body, including the heart, limbs, and brain, and may lead to health challenges throughout a person's life.
Examples of congenital conditions include congenital heart defects, spina bifida, and Down syndrome. While some congenital conditions are mild and may not require treatment, others can be severe and necessitate medical intervention. Early diagnosis and management are crucial for improving outcomes for individuals with congenital conditions.
