Genetics
The uvula and neck might enlarge, along with the face and extremities, due to a rare disorder termed hereditary angioedema, a disease defined by repeated attacks of extreme swelling. The face, mouth, tongue, and uvula are areas of the body that experience edema the most frequently, causing the uvula to grow longer and larger than usual. It resembles uvulitis but is not uvulitis. Just like uvulitis, it can make breathing difficult.
Attacks can be set off by tension, but swelling frequently occurs without apparent cause. Hereditary angioedema patients commonly suffer uncomfortable, firm swelling in these places. The condition’s symptoms might also worsen over time. Repeated symptoms may be brought on by or made worse by stress, viral disease, surgery, or extreme pain.
Genes coming from the parents control genetic illnesses. Despite the gender of the offspring, there is a higher chance that the faulty gene will be passed from the affected parent to their children during pregnancy. Hereditary angioedema patients can now use newly developed drugs to treat and avoid mild attacks. Surgery could also be an option when it comes to this condition.
