What are the symptoms of macrocytic anemia?

Patient's question:

I am 30 years old this year, I just got divorced, and I also want a baby, so I want to understand more about baby technology. I would like to ask, what are the symptoms of macrocytic anemia?

Doctor's answer:

The onset of macrocytic anemia is difficult to determine, and it is particularly challenging to investigate, especially when there is a prolonged deficiency of vitamins, particularly vitamin B12. Folate, due to its low storage levels in the body, can reappear deficient more quickly. Certain individuals exposed to nitrous oxide, patients in ICU or undergoing hemodialysis, as well as early pregnant women, may experience deficiency within a short period. Clinically, it is generally moderate to severe anemia. In addition to anemia symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, and shortness of breath with palpitations after exercise, severely anemic patients may have mild jaundice. There may also be a decrease in white blood cell count and platelet count, and patients may occasionally exhibit a tendency toward infection and bleeding.
