What do you understand by the means of Anemia?

Dear friends, anemia is a medical condition which is caused by the deficiency of red blood cells in our body. As we the red blood cells perform a very important function of carrying oxygenated blood from lungs to other parts of the body. And when the anemia occurs the red blood cells RBCs remain unable to perform that functions which leads towards various problems including the fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath. As we know the oxygen is very important for us to breathe but when our blood lack of oxygen it cause difficulties in breathing.

The anemia can be found in different forms such as sickle cell anemia, iron deficiency anemia, vitamin deficiency anemia and aplastic anemia. They all have different causes, symptoms and treatments too because they vary from person to person. In the last month, my mother suffered from iron deficiency anemia and we treated her with the injection of venofer as they are produced to overcome the deficiency of iron in the body.

Causes of Anemia

Yes there can be several causes of anemia and mostly depends upon the condition or type of anemia. In most of the cases the top two causes of anemia can be a sudden loss of blood in a high quantity and decrease in the production of red blood cells in the body due to other reasons. All these conditions may lead a person towards anemia as when a high quantity of blood lost suddenly due to injuries it may lead towards the decrease in the quantity of RBCs in body which cause anemia.

Besides them the other causes of anemia can be poor diet, infections, family history and other causes such as poor sedentary lifestyle. When we don't take the foods which contains iron, vitamins and minerals which are essential for normal health and for the production of RBCs in the body it can cause iron deficiency which results in anemia. So these can be the causes of anemia.

Preventions from Anemia

Yes it is very important for a person to prevent anemia and also treat it when he suffered in it. This is because its on time prevention and cure can be helpful in getting rid from that disease within a shorter interval of time. But if we ignore, it can leads towards a huge destruction which eventually ends with death. According to me through these preventive measures we can keep ourselves away from anemia. Let's have a look at them.
