Patient's question:
I have been experiencing 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. How can I prevent hemolytic disease of the newborn?Doctor's answer:
Hemolytic disease of the newborn is mainly caused by incompatibility of blood types between mother and child, with the most common being ABO hemolysis, where the mother is type O blood and the baby is non-O type blood. It cannot be prevented, and regular prenatal check-ups are necessary to identify the potential for hemolysis early. If hemolysis occurs after the baby is born, timely treatment is required to prevent serious complications.
