Doctors Near You for Anaemia in Tashithang

Anemia is a medical condition characterized by a deficiency in the number of red blood cells or the amount of hemoglobin in the blood, leading to reduced oxygen delivery to tissues and organs. This condition often results in symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, pallor, shortness of breath, and dizziness. The causes of anemia can be diverse and include nutritional deficiencies, such as iron deficiency, which is one of the most common forms of anemia. Other deficiencies, such as vitamin B12 or folate, can also lead to anemia. Chronic diseases, including chronic kidney disease or inflammatory disorders, can impair red blood cell production or lifespan. Hemolytic anemia occurs when red blood cells are destroyed prematurely, which can be caused by autoimmune disorders or certain infections. Anemia can also result from bone marrow disorders or genetic conditions like sickle cell disease or thalassemia. Treatment for anemia depends on its underlying cause. For iron deficiency anemia, treatment typically involves oral iron supplements and dietary changes to increase iron intake. Vitamin deficiencies are addressed with supplements and dietary adjustments to ensure adequate intake of vitamin B12 and folate. Chronic anemia related to other medical conditions may require managing the primary disease, along with additional treatments such as erythropoiesis-stimulating agents for anemia of chronic disease or blood transfusions in severe cases. Regular monitoring and follow-up with healthcare professionals are crucial to assess treatment efficacy, adjust therapies as needed, and ensure the underlying causes of anemia are effectively managed to improve overall health and well-being.
