Anemia
| Anemia is
a sign of few diseases and also a diseases in itself.
Anemia has been identified as a reduction of hemoglobin
in the blood, which carries oxygen throughout the body.
Anemia occurs when there is bleeding, when bone marrow
cannot produce enough red blood cells, when those produced
have a defect, or when something interferes with the survival
of red blood cells. Iron-deficiency anemia, caused by
heavy or recurring bleeding, is the most prevalent form
of the disorder. Persistent bleeding may occur from the
digestive tract and is associated with diseases like gastritis,
inflammatory bowel disease, including leukemia and kidney
disease, can produce anemia. Some types of anemia can
be traced to genetic disorders. In children and adolescents,
anemia can often be traced to insufficient dietary intake
of iron. Loss of blood in menstruation is typically the
cause of anemia among girls and women. In men, chronic
occult bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract often leads
to iron deficiency anemia. Signs and symptoms of anemia
include fatigue, pallor, irritability, loss of appetite,
backaches, headaches, soreness in the mouth and breathlessness.
The homeopathic science suggests that deficiency should
have to be corrected by necessary dietetic supplements. |
