Anemia.
Anemia occurs when there is not enough healthy red blood cells or hemoglobin in the blood. Hemoglobin is necessary to bind oxygen to blood cells. If you have less or unusual red blood cells or your hemoglobin is less or unusual, then your body will not get enough oxygen. Anemia symptoms such as fatigue feel when the body does not get enough oxygen.
Some important factors about anemia are as follows:
1. Some types of anemia are inherited and some people are from anemia childhood.
2. Due to inappropriate diet and other medical problems, people may also develop anemia.
3. At an eligible age of pregnancy, women may easily have anemia due to lack of blood due to menstruation and excessive blood requirement of the body.
There are many types of anemia. The causes and remedies are different for everyone. The anemia caused by iron deficiency is the most common and it can be treated with dietary changes and iron diet. Anemia during pregnancy is considered to be somewhat common.
Types of Anemia.
1. Anemia due to lack of iron: Due to lack of iron, anemia is a common type, which usually occurs when there is a lot of blood loss due to menstrual periods. Anemia can also be due to the lack of iron due to the development of embryonic (fetus) in pregnancy and, due to iron requirement for childhood and development in adolescence.
2. Aplastic Anemia: Aplastic anemia is a blood disorder that causes the body's bone marrow to make enough blood cells. Due to this, many problems related to health such as arrhythmias (abnormal heartbeats), increase in heart size, heart failure, infarction and bleeding can occur. It develops suddenly or gradually and becomes serious over time until it is treated.
3. Haemolytic Anaemia: Haemolytic anemia occurs when red blood cells are destroyed or not in the bloodstream before the normal life span ends. Due to many diseases, situations and factors, the body can destroy red blood cells. Haemolytic anemia can lead to many serious health problems such as fatigue, pain, artery disease (arrhythmias; abnormal heartbeat), heart rate increase, heart failure.
4. Thalassaemias: Thalassaemias is a genetic disorder, due to which the body creates less red blood cells and hemoglobin. The major types of thalassaemias are: Alpha Thalassaemias and Beta Thalassaemias The serious type of alpha thalassaemias is called Alpha Thalassaemias Major or Hydrops Fetalis, and the serious type of beta Thalassaemias is called Beta Thalassaemias Major or Cooley's Anemia. Thalassaemias occurs in both men and women.
5. Sickle Cell Anaemia: Sickle Cell Anemia is a serious disease in which the body creates red blood cells like the sickle. Normal red blood cells are shaped like disks, due to which they easily pass through blood vessels. Red blood vessels contain proteins called hemoglobin.
6. Pernicious Anaemia: In pernicious anemia, the body is unable to make enough red blood cells because there is not enough vitamin B12 (nutrient found in food) in the body. People who have Pernicious Anemia can not absorb enough Vitamin B12 due to lack of one type of protein in the body. Vitamin B12 deficiency may also be due to many factors.
7. Fanconi Anemia (FA): There is a genetic disorder that can cause bone marrow failure. FA is a type of aplastic anemia that does not allow bone marrow to make new blood cells. Due to the FA, the bone marrow creates several abnormal blood cells. This can lead to serious diseases such as leukemia.
Symptoms of Anemia.
Some common symptoms of anemia are:
1. Tiredness
2. Weakness
3. Yellowing of skin
4. Heartbeat abnormalities
5. Trouble breathing
6. Dizziness
7. Chest pain
8. Cooling hands and feet
9. Headache
Causes of Anemia
Lack of red blood cells can be due to bleeding, which can often occur gradually, and may be unnatural. This type of severe bleeding may occur due to the following reasons:
1. Gastrointestinal problems like ulcers, hemorrhoids, gastritis (inflammation of the stomach), and cancer.
2. Using NSAIDs such as aspirin and ibuprofen may cause ulcerative or gastritis.
3. Menstruation and childbirth in women, especially if there is excessive bleeding in menstrual periods and there have been many pregnancies.
Anemia due to the production of defective red blood cells:
In this type of anemia, the production of blood cells is low or blood cells do not work. Due to the lack of vitamins and minerals and abnormal red cells, red blood cells are dual or lower. The anemia related to these conditions are as follows:
1. Sickle cell anemia
2. Anemia due to lack of iron
3. Vitamin deficiency
4. Problems in bone marrow and stem cells
5. Other health related problems
When red blood cells are weak, then they can not tolerate the pressure of the circulatory system. Because of this, they may be damaged forever, due to which hemolytic anemia can occur. Hemolytic anemia can also happen from birth. Sometimes there is no reason to be Hemolytic Anemia. The known causes of hemolytic anemia are:
1. Genetic diseases like Sickle Cell Anemia and Thalassemia
2. Infections, some medicines, poison of snakes or spider, and some food substances
3. Toxicity caused by liver and kidney disease
4. Unusual activity of the immune system.
5. Vascular Graft, Problems in Heart Valve, Tumors, Problems Due to Burning, Problems with Exposure to Chemicals, High Blood Pressure, Blood Clot Disorders
Prevention of Anemia.
Certain types of anemia such as Sickle cell anemia (which is a genetic disease) can not be avoided. It is also hard to avoid anemia due to the lack of blood because accidents and injuries are unpredictable. If you are in a condition when you are bleeding more then you should try to stop or reduce your bleeding until you receive any medical help.
To avoid other types of anemia:
1. Take a healthy diet containing iron.
2. Reduce intake of tea and coffee because your body may have trouble absorbing iron.
3. Eat vitamin C more because it helps in the absorption of iron.
