Patient's question:
I have thalassemia and I am currently divorced. I have reached the age to have children. I would like to ask how to prepare for pregnancy with thalassemia? Can my condition allow me to get pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Thalassemia is a genetic disease. If the thalassemia is not very severe, it is possible to have a normal pregnancy. However, if the thalassemia is very severe, it is best not to get pregnant, because after getting pregnant, the pregnant woman's body will provide more for many trace elements, which will make the symptoms of anemia more severe. It is very easy to cause repeated miscarriages and fetal stoppage. During pre-pregnancy, try to eat more foods that replenish qi, such as goji berries, poria, donkey-hide gelatin, red dates, etc.
