What should I do if I have severe anemia during pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I have been experiencing dizziness recently and haven't been able to eat properly, with poor mental state. The hospital check-up revealed a blood-related issue. If pregnancy anemia is severe, what should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Anemia is classified into various types in clinical diagnosis, such as thalassemia, aplastic anemia, and iron-deficiency anemia. In this case, it is first recommended to go to the hospital for a complete blood count and a thorough bone marrow examination to determine the specific type of anemia. Treatment can then be administered based on the examination results. If the examination reveals iron-deficiency anemia, this can typically be corrected by taking oral iron supplements. Additionally, it is advisable to consume more animal blood products and foods rich in iron in daily life.
