Can thalassemia be cured?

Patient's question:

Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:
It's just that her face is a bit pale, and she eats very little.

Doctor's answer:

Mild thalassemia does not require special treatment. Intermediate and severe thalassemia should be treated with one or more of the following methods. The most common problems encountered in thalassemia patients are often functional abnormalities in the heart, liver, and endocrine system. Among patients receiving low-volume blood transfusions, liver and endocrine problems are less common because their lifespan is not long enough to cause such damage. In contrast, older patients receiving high-volume blood transfusions without sufficient iron chelation are more likely to encounter these problems.
