Patient's question:
How should thalassemia be treated? Can medication be used? Is surgery necessary? Are there any good methods? Does anyone have any knowledge about it?Doctor's answer:
Thalassemia is a hereditary disease caused by the partial or complete inhibition of the synthesis of one or more of the globin chains of hemoglobin. To prevent thalassemia in the next generation, it is necessary to actively undergo premarital and prenatal examinations. Through prenatal testing, it is possible to avoid giving birth to unhealthy children. For your partner, it is important to clarify the severity of the condition. If one of the spouses has thalassemia, the probability of the child inheriting the disease is about 20%. To prevent the child from inheriting the disease, it is sufficient to conduct prenatal examinations and prenatal screening.
