Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, it is inferred. Normal sclera will never turn blue. If blue appears again, it is often a sign of iron deficiency anemia. If the body lacks iron, it can cause abnormal development and thinning of the sclera, making the underlying blue (blood vessels) more visible, so it appears blue externally. If the body lacks iron, it can gradually lead to iron deficiency anemia. It is recommended that you actively go to the hospital for a face-to-face consultation, examination, and diagnosis. After the diagnosis, a treatment plan should be formulated based on the examination results. Pay attention to eating more iron-rich foods. Pay attention to enhancing nutrition.
