What is the meaning of blood draw and hemolysis?

Patient's question:

I have been experiencing dizziness recently, 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 explain what hemolysis means?

Doctor's answer:

Hereditary hemolytic diseases also come in many different types, such as thalassemia or favism, etc. Ultimately, they all lead to hemolysis and are hereditary conditions. If you plan to have a baby, prenatal genetic screening is necessary to confirm whether the baby is a patient with the disease or a carrier of the gene. In your case, you are quite fortunate.
