Patient's question:
Doctor, I have beta-thalassemia, and my husband doesn't. Before I got pregnant, I had a daughter with severe thalassemia. I got pregnant again, and after thorough testing, the doctor said it would be fine even if the child carried the gene, as I have mild thalassemia. Now, this baby has undergone newborn blood screening, and the doctor called to express doubts about severe thalassemia, asking me to take the child for diagnosis. I am so upset and worried, and I'm still in the postpartum period. How could this happen?Doctor's answer:
In this case, it's best to have the baby checked. I can understand your feelings. It might not be serious either. I hope you can always maintain a calm mindset and absolutely avoid interfering with breastfeeding. If there is indeed a problem, there's nothing else to be done.The above advice is for the question "Doctor, I have beta-thalassemia, my husband doesn't. Before we got married, I had a daughter with severe thalassemia." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
