Anemia.
Anemia is because the blood is not transporting enough oxygen to the rest of the body. The most common cause of anemia is not having enough iron. The body needs this mineral to produce hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is an iron-rich protein that gives blood its red color and transports oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body.

Anemia is it is characterized by the lack of enough healthy red blood cells to transport an adequate level of oxygen to the tissues of the body.
Certain types of anemia can be serious, long-lasting and even life-threatening if they are not diagnosed and treated.
The three main causes of anemia are:
Loss of blood, not producing red blood cells and destruction of these at high speed.
The initial diagnosis is apparently simple, since in a routine analysis or for other reasons a decrease in hemoglobin levels or the number of red blood cells is detected.
However, the analyzes not only allow the diagnosis of anemia, but through the examination of a series of characteristics of these red blood cells, such as their size or the concentration of hemoglobin they contain, many data can be known that allow to initiate the diagnostic process of the type of anemia in question.
The complete study, once the anemia is detected, will require an extension of the analytical study, an examination of an extension of peripheral blood and, in some cases, an aspiration or biopsy of the bone marrow.
The medical problems that can cause anemia can be:
- Very abundant menstrual periods.
- Pregnancy.
- Ulcers.
- Polyps in the colon or colon cancer.
- Hereditary disorders.
- A diet that does not contain enough iron, folic acid or vitamin B 12.
- Some disorders, such as sickle cell anemia, thalassemia or cancer.
- aplastic anemia, a condition that can be hereditary or acquired.
The most common symptoms are:
- Tiredness.
- Cutaneous pallor.
- Tachycardia.
- Respiratory difficulty.
- Dizziness.
These signs indicate that you should see a doctor to verify your health status. If you have any of these symptoms, pay attention.
