Congenital birth defects are abnormalities present at birth in the body's structure or function due to genetic or environmental factors. These defects can affect any part of the body, including the organs, limbs, and brain.
Congenital birth defects can be diagnosed during pregnancy through ultrasound, amniocentesis, and chorionic villus sampling. Treatment and management of these defects may involve surgery, medication, physical therapy, or a combination of these approaches.
It is important to note that while not all congenital birth defects can be prevented or cured, early detection and intervention can improve outcomes and quality of life of affected individuals.
