Reasons of Congenital Deformities

Genetic Factors:
Ample congenital deformities are transfered through family genetics. If there’s a history of certain conditions, like clubfoot or scoliosis, the chances of passing them on can increase. However, not all inherited traits guarantee a deformity; some are influenced by other factors as well.
Environmental Influences During Pregnancy:
External factors, such as exposure to harmful things like alcohol, tobacco, or certain medications, can impact the baby’s development in the womb. These influences might disturb the formation of bones, joints, or muscles, leading to orthopedic issues.
Nutritional Deficiencies:
A lack of fundamental nutrients, particularly folic acid and calcium, during pregnancy can affect the proper formation of the baby’s skeletal system. Balanced nutrition is imperative for reducing the risk of such deformities.
Infections During Pregnancy:
Certain infections like rubella or Zika virus can interrupt with the baby’s normal development. These infections may cause malformations in the skeletal or muscular systems, along with other complications.
Amniotic Band Syndrome:
This occurs when threads of the amniotic sac entangle parts of the baby’s body, restricting growth. It can lead to deformities like missing fingers or toes and other limb abnormalities.
Unknown Causes:
In many cases, congenital deformities occur without a clear reason. This unpredictability can be challenging for parents but emphasise the importance of prenatal care and regular monitoring.
