What is aplastic anemia and how is it treated?

Patient's question:

I have been experiencing dizziness recently and have been unable to eat properly, with poor mental state. The hospital examination revealed a blood-related issue. Could you please explain what aplastic anemia is and how it is treated?

Doctor's answer:

Aplastic anemia is generally caused by a reduction or even a decline in the regenerative function of bone marrow, leading to a decrease in all blood cell types, resulting in anemia, easy bruising, and infections. In daily life, surgical exogenous supplementation of all blood cells is provided for treatment, while it is also necessary to avoid infections and prevent mental trauma. The fundamental measure for treatment is bone marrow transplantation. It is recommended to actively seek bone marrow sources in the hematology department of higher-level hospitals for bone marrow transplantation treatment.
