Iron deficiency anemia is the most common type of anemia. It can be caused by increased iron loss, insufficient iron intake, or impaired iron absorption. Patients may experience symptoms such as fatigue, easy exhaustion, dizziness, and increased susceptibility to infections. Active prevention and treatment are essential.The first step in treatment is to identify the underlying cause and address it accordingly. Additionally, it is recommended to consume more lean meat, pork liver, egg yolks, milk, fish, shrimp, shellfish, soy products, tofu, and blood to supplement iron and protein. Eating more fruits and vegetables to increase vitamin C intake can also promote iron absorption.
Medications such as ferrous gluconate or ferrous sulfate can be taken to treat the condition.
