Anemia Causes

In simple terms anemia is a heath condition in which the blood has a lower count of blood cells than normal. It may be due to low hemoglobin levels, the iron rich protein which colors your blood red. When it comes to anemia in general there are 3 overarching reasons to consider

1. Your body isn’t producing enough red blood cells
2. Blood loss is causing you to loose blood cells more quickly than your body can replace them
3. Your blood cells are being destroyed or damaged

The 3 types of blood cells your body produces are called white blood cells, platelets and red blood cells.  Your white blood cells help to fight infection while platelets help your blood to clot preventing excess bleeding. Red blood cells help to carry oxygen throughout your body tissues muscle and vital organs. Your red blood cells contain several different type of protein such as hemoglobin and myoglobin. Hemoglobin enables your blood cells to carry oxygen to your lungs and tissues while myoglobin facilitates the passage of oxygen to your muscles. When the production of red blood cells (and hemoglobin) is stopped , it can have drastic effect on the rest of the bodydue to insufficient levels of oxygen in blood. This leads to the development of problematic symptoms and can also result in different types of anemia

Anemia Symptoms

The symptoms of anemia may vary according to the type of anemia and its cause. There are some symptoms,  however that are common to nearly all types of anemia. This may include

• Fatigue
• Pale skin
• Irregular heartbeat
• Chest pain
• Dizziness or weakness
• Headache
• Cold hands and feet

Sometimes when you donate blood and find that your hemoglobin is low, it could simply mean that the loss of blood has made you deficient in iron.

Changes in skin colour, whether flushing or paleness, can be related  anemia. This happens because of paucity of red blood cells in the body that is not enough to reach the surface of the skin. It is diverted away from the skin to other vital organs of the body . This paleness is caused by low levels of hemoglobin, which gives blood its redness.

Treatments for Anemia

Treatment options may include dietary supplements, medicine, medical procedures or even surgery. Regardless of the type or cause of anemia, the goal of the treatment is to increase the amount of oxygen your blood can carry. This may be accomplished by repairing damage or conditions which cause blood loss, raising the blood cell count and increasing hemoglobin levels.

One of the most common treatments for anemia involves making dietary changes or adding supplements to your diet. Iron deficiency anemia , one of the most common types, results from low iron levels in the body. This can be repaired by eating iron rich foods or by taking iron supplements. Other vitamins and minerals may play a role in treating this and other types of anemia. Vitamin B12 is closely linked to the development of harmful anemia. Therefore taking vitamin B12 supplements and eating food sources of the vitamin are typical treatments of this condition. Folic acid , another form of vitamin B is important for the formation of new cells (especially relevant to pregnant women). In case of iron deficiency, vitamin C is also frequently prescribed because it helps the body to absorb iron

When it comes to medications for the treatment of anemia, most medications are prescribed to treat the cause of the condition. Antibiotics may be prescribed to  treat infections  resulting in low blood count or reduced hemoglobin levels.  In cases where heavy menstrual bleeding results in excessive blood loss, hormones or oral contraceptives may be recommended. Homeopathic medicines even stimulate the body to produce more blood cells

When it comes to surgical procedures  a common treatment for severe anemia is blood transfusion which involves replacing a portion of your own blood with a supply of donated carefully matched blood. A more tedious one is the treatment of anemia through blood and marrow stem cell transplants which involves extensive matching. If your body is destroying its own blood cells, your spleen might have to be removed.
