Patient's question:
I've been having frequent dizziness lately, and I can't seem to eat properly either. My mental state isn't great either. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it's a blood-related issue. Could you please tell me what causes iron deficiency anemia?Doctor's answer:
Iron deficiency anemia may be caused by excessive blood loss or insufficient iron intake from the diet. The metabolism of iron in the body requires vitamin C. It is recommended to consume more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C in daily meals, or take vitamin C orally. Avoid excessive consumption of spicy and irritating foods. If the anemia is severe, oral iron supplements should be taken for treatment. Maintain a regular schedule, actively participate in physical exercise, and regulate physical and mental health.
