Anemia

Anemia is a medical condition that occurs when the body lacks enough red blood cells or hemoglobin, a protein found in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. The most common symptoms of anemia include fatigue, weakness, pale skin, shortness of breath, dizziness, and headache. Anemia can be caused by several factors, including iron deficiency, vitamin deficiency, chronic diseases, blood loss, or inherited disorders. Treatment for anemia usually involves identifying and treating the underlying cause, which may include dietary changes, iron or vitamin supplements, blood transfusions, or medications. Anemia can be a serious condition if left untreated, leading to complications such as heart problems, cognitive issues, and impaired immune function.
