Patient's question:
Can you tell me how to treat thalassemia with medication? Do you need surgery? Are there any good methods? Does anyone know?Doctor's answer:
Yes, any type of anemia can lead to a decrease in hemoglobin. If it is mild thalassemia, special treatment is usually not required. If it is intermediate or severe thalassemia, long-term repeated blood transfusions are necessary for treatment, and currently, there is no specific cure. Patients with thalassemia can supplement with nutrients such as folic acid, zinc, and vitamins. In daily life, it is important to maintain a balance between work and rest, avoid overexertion, and take precautions to prevent infections, colds, and other such conditions.
