Patient's question:
I've been married for several years, and so far, we don't have any children. I'm very anxious about it and don't know if it's my problem. I've asked my husband to get checked, but he refuses. I'm afraid my condition might worsen. Please, if one partner in a couple has mild A, will it be hereditary?Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally speaking, your baby will not have the opportunity to suffer from severe thalassemia. If you want to be more cautious, you can also do a thalassemia gene test. This disease is generally dominant. There are many factors that lead to genetic counseling, and patients need to be diagnosed and treated promptly. It is recommended to go to a Class III-A hospital for treatment. Pay attention to the development of the condition and do not treat it recklessly. Moreover, in daily life, it is essential to develop good living habits and maintain personal hygiene. I wish you a speedy recovery!
