Right from time immemorial humans were able to know that a particular disease disturbing a family will be tag as nothing but family inheritance that's where hereditary comes in existence. It occurrences from person to person (family circle) that's, how it was transmitted through Gene. As a result of such children are in high risk of contacting (inheriting) the genetic disorder from parents if not properly cared for. So let get to know what hereditary disease is all about.

Did you know that many diseases are hereditary?

Yeah, right from my primary school level i was taught what hereditary is,(genetic disorder), it's effect on family. It made known to me that hereditary is generational predicament transmitted from parents to their offsprings.

So from tender age i know that some disease/sickness are acquired through child birth or through fetus formation (pregnancy) and start growing with time. If there's any know symptoms then proper check-up should imply immediately for prevention. HIV, arthritis, Cancer among others are hereditary diseases which have claimed alot of lives because they are not dictated/discovered earlier.

What are the diseases that have been triggered in your family circle or friends? explain

I grew up to know about one of my uncle who suffered from HIV and AIDS for donkey years. This sickness has been transmitted to most of his children and has claimed the life of some of the children due to its early contagious and it wasn't discovered in time. But some of them are aware now and medical check-ups are in place and they are on drugs.

Doctor have informed them that they will be going for medical check-up on monthly basis to check their status without doing so the cycle will continue to affect their generation to generations.

Do you take health forecasts regarding these diseases?

First and foremost i will said thanks to the most high God for sparing my immediate family from such challenges. Because we haven't recorded any form of hereditary diseases from my grandfather to my father to we the children so there's no any genetic disorder in our circle for now.

Although i haven't asked about the first generation to know if there is any form of hereditary or not. We weren't serious to know about such history because it has not affected anyone among us but having come across this topic today i will will make it a duty to inquire more about family history.

I take health forecast based on ailments i suspect is disturbing my healthy living. i did that often times to keep fit not necessarily suspecting any symptom.

Can hereditary diseases be cured?

Hereditary diseases can't be cured completely rather it will only be controlled through appropriate medications. Diet is another measure to put in place in controlling how the patient eat and take their medications.

The most important aspect of it all is to discover/dictate the disease earlier enough before they manifest. Now preventive measure will be put in place even before the symptoms show up (appear). It also requires proper documentation for future reference purposes to be able to know the symptoms and when treatment is due.

Conclusion

Been able to dictate/discovered earlier help in future prevention. People who are victims of genetic disorder should take their health forecast more serious to help them plan well. They should also include documentations for their future references and easy prescription to ease treatment.
