2024-02-06T14:16:26+0530

Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a genetic disorder that people inherit from their parents. It can be seen from birth, but a diagnosis is often not made until later in life. The first symptoms usually develop during the first year of life, with the others emerging between the ages of 1 and 6. Warning signs such as Constant hunger, a constant search for food, and, in most cases, rapid weight gain are other warning signs. Other signs are usually present, and most children who display these behaviours do not have PWS. PWD does not have a cure. There are several treatments available to alleviate the symptoms of the condition. Treatment can help you get better results, especially if you start early. If those who maintain a healthy weight, everyone’s life expectancy may increase or return to normal, whereas if those who don't, obesity and diabetes will become more common. Throughout their lives, most people with PWS require supervision and specialized care. PWS is a chromosomal disorder in which a person can't control their appetite, has delayed growth, and has poor cognitive development, among other symptoms. Early detection of the symptoms can help an individual manage the condition.
