Anemia is a condition where there is a deficiency in red blood cells or hemoglobin, leading to reduced oxygen delivery to tissues. Common causes include nutritional deficiencies (iron, B12), chronic diseases, and genetic conditions. While treatment often involves diet and medication, physiotherapy can help manage symptoms like fatigue, weakness, and reduced exercise tolerance through tailored physical activity programs.
Causes of Anemia:
- Iron deficiency (most common)
- Vitamin B12 or folate deficiency
- Chronic diseases (e.g., kidney disease, cancer)
- Blood loss (e.g., gastrointestinal bleeding, heavy periods)
- Genetic conditions (e.g., sickle cell anemia, thalassemia)
- Bone marrow disorders
- Chronic inflammation or infections
Symptoms of Anemia:
- Fatigue and weakness
- Pale skin or mucous membranes
- Shortness of breath
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Cold hands and feet
- Headaches
- Rapid heartbeat or irregular heartbeat
