FAQs
Anemia is a medical condition characterized by a reduced number of red blood cells or a lower-than-normal amount of hemoglobin in the blood. Hemoglobin is essential for carrying oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body.
Anemia can have various causes, including nutritional deficiencies (such as iron, vitamin B12, or folate), chronic diseases, genetic factors (like sickle cell anemia), and certain medications. Iron deficiency anemia is one of the most common types.
Iron deficiency is a condition where the body lacks sufficient iron, an essential mineral needed for the production of hemoglobin. Insufficient iron can lead to a decrease in the number of healthy red blood cells, causing iron deficiency anemia.
Common symptoms include fatigue, weakness, pale skin, shortness of breath, dizziness, and cold hands and feet. Iron deficiency may also present with cravings for non-food items like ice or clay (pica).
Treatment depends on the underlying cause. For iron deficiency anemia, iron supplementation is often prescribed. Dietary changes, such as consuming iron-rich foods, and addressing the underlying cause are essential components of treatment.
