What is anemia?
When hemoglobin levels of blood drop below normal, it is called anemia .Hemoglobin is a special pigment of blood. Its main function is to supply oxygen to various parts of the body. Hemoglobin may decrease itself in the anemia or the entire red blood cell can be reduced in number. The normal level of hemoglobin in an adult male's blood is 13.5-17.5 g / 100 ml. For women, its level is 11.5-15.5 g / 100 ml.
Why it is?
Anemia is not a disease, disease symptoms. There may be anemia for various reasons. Iron is one of the main raw materials for the production of hemoglobin in the blood. For some reason the presence of iron in the body may lead to anemia . 'Iron deficiency anemia' in medical terms. In addition to the lack of vitamin B and Folic Acid, certain types of prolonged diseases (such as kidney failure), certain types of infections , blood cancer, thalassemia, thyroid hormone problems, blood-borne carcinoma problems, red blood cells collapse, bleeding Etc. are due to anemia.
Iron deficiency anemia is the highest among various types of anemia. Especially in the third world's poorest countries. Among women it is more than men. A 2012 study found that 70 percent of women suffer from starvation at different stages of life. Women in Bangladesh have the highest incidence of iron deficiency during pregnancy.
Anemia is not the only reason for iron deficiency. Anemia may be due to the following reasons.
1) Due to the production problems of red blood cells-
Iron deficiency anemia
Vitamin-B, deficiency anemia in folic acid.
Erectile anemia (the production of bone marrow is lost)
Anemia due to various long-term diseases such as kidney failure, lever distortion, thyroid hormone problem etc.
Leukemia or blood carcinogenic causes.
2) Because of the breakdown of red blood cells in the blood-
Due to birth due to thalassemia .
Due to certain types of infections such as malaria
Because of the complexity of body immune system.
3)Because of bleeding-
Worms, peptic ulcers, long-term pain medicines, piles, excessive menstrual periods.
Accidental bleeding
But 75-90 percent of iron causes iron deficiency.
Also, risk may increase for some other reasons-
Anemia can occur if there is not enough iron supply through food.
Due to low consumption of protein or digestive food, digestion problems, stomach bypass surgery, etc. may reduce iron absorption capacity from stomach food and thus result in anemia.
Eating less vitamin-C food.
Dairy products, tea, coffee, and more. Because these foods hinder iron absorption.
