Significance of Congenital defect
Congenital defect is defined differently across various fields. Purana links it to lineage succession, while Ayurveda associates it with inherited physiological anomalies and the mother's actions during pregnancy. Science attributes it to birth abnormalities potentially caused by environmental factors. Health Sciences defines it as anomalies present at birth, often resulting from genetics or environmental influences, and impacting the newborn's health. These defects, which can be structural or functional, are present at birth and may influence development.

Hindu concept of 'Congenital defect'
In Hinduism, a congenital defect is a birth defect stemming from parents, the mother's actions, or inherited anomalies. It can impact lineage, as seen in the context of succession. Prenatal care is crucial to mitigate these issues.

The concept of Congenital defect in scientific sources
Congenital defects are physical or mental conditions present from birth, encompassing structural, functional, or developmental anomalies. They impact development, health, and may arise from various factors. These birth abnormalities often require care and can be linked to genetics, environment, or pregnancy-related issues.
From: South African Journal of Physiotherapy
(1) Anomalies present from birth are mentioned as a cause of spinal defects.[5] (2) These are defects present at birth, and surgical treatment is used for these conditions, along with acquired defects, as described in the text.[6] (3) This refers to physical or mental conditions present from birth, often influencing the child's development and requiring care.[7]
From: International Journal of Pharmacology
(1) Prozac during organogenesis can be considered a teratogenic influence, causing these defects and serious injuries.[8] (2) In women, agricultural pesticides exposure may affect menstrual cycles and may cause spontaneous abortions, , pre-maturity births, delay in conception and infertility.[9] (3) The benefits of folic acid during pregnancy include reduced risk of low birth weight, autism, language delay, developmental abnormalities and these.[10]
From: The Malaysian Journal of Medical Sciences
(1) Health issues present at birth impacting the newborn, which were also excluded from the study's participant criteria.[11] (2) Anomalies that are present at birth, often associated with conditions like bilateral choanal atresia.[12]
From: Onderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research
(1) This term describes physical problems present from birth, and the document examines these issues in the context of squirrel monkeys.[13] (2) These are the structural abnormalities that are present in the calves from birth, and they are the subject of the study.[14]

From: International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (MDPI)
(1) The text identifies hypospadias as one of the "congenital defects" being studied, and it attempts to avoid the risk of possible underestimation for other defects.[18] (2) It is a condition that led to the exclusion of infants from the study, ensuring a focus on neurobehavioral development without this confounding factor.[19] (3) Medical conditions that are based on medical history and physical examination, with the type assessed according to a specific classification.[20] (4) Drinking water trihalomethane and chlorination by-product exposure similarly found a modest connection for total congenital defects, with greater correlation for septal defects.[21] (5) Defects whose patterns are explained by cannabis teratology, linking increased cannabinoid exposure to rising trends.[22]
