Doctor's answer:
Anemia (the full name is thalassemia) is the most common and most harmful genetic disease in southern provinces of China, with an incidence rate in the population as high as over 10%, primarily based in Guangdong and Guangxi. Thalassemia mainly includes two types: α-thalassemia and β-thalassemia, with α-thalassemia being more common. The recurrence of this disease is due to abnormal structures or production rates of globin peptide chains in the hemoglobin molecule, leading to an imbalance of peptide chains and resulting in a symptom complex based on hemolytic anemia.Recommendations: SEA-deficient α-thalassemia gene heterozygotes have mild anemia. If there are no other diseases, it poses no threat to life. Mild thalassemia does not require special treatment, while intermediate and severe thalassemia should be treated using one or more of the following methods:
1. General treatment: Pay attention to rest and nutrition, actively prevent infections, and appropriately supplement folic acid and vitamin E;
2. Surgical and iron-removal treatment: This method remains one of the important treatments at present.
