Bradygenesis refers to a medical condition characterized by slow growth or development. The word is spelled as /ˌbreɪdɪˈdʒɛnəsɪs/ which is pronounced as "bray-dee-jen-uh-sis". It originates from the Greek words "brady" meaning slow and "genesis" meaning creation. This condition can affect infants, children, and adults, and may result from various factors such as genetics or problems during pregnancy. Early diagnosis and treatment can help manage the symptoms of bradygenesis, enabling individuals to reach their full potential in terms of growth and development.
