Six anemia symptoms that women should know.
1. Malnutritional anemia: Malnutritional anemia mainly refers to severe iron deficiency in the body, followed by anemia caused by vitamin Bi2 deficiency.
Symptoms: In addition to general anemia symptoms such as dizziness, tinnitus, dizziness, fatigue and dry alopecia, patients may also be accompanied by loss of appetite, diarrhea, aphtha and glossitis.
2. Iron deficiency anemia: Iron deficiency anemia refers to a small cell hypochromic anemia caused by insufficient iron storage in the body, which affects hemoglobin synthesis. It is the most common anemia all over the world, including China. The incidence of this disease is very high, almost all over the world.
How to care for the symptoms of female anemia: Symptoms similar to malnutrition anemia can be identified by detecting trace elements in hair.
3. Hemorrhagic anemia: Blood loss is the most common cause of anemia, which can be divided into acute and chronic.
Chronic blood loss often causes iron deficiency anemia; Anemia caused by a large amount of blood loss in a short period of time is called acute hemorrhagic anemia because of vascular rupture or hemostatic mechanism defects caused by trauma or disease.
Symptoms: If the bleeding volume reaches 65,438+0,500-000 ml (about 40% of the total blood volume), even if the patient is healthy before bleeding, he will inevitably have thirst, nausea, shortness of breath, extreme dizziness and even short-term loss of will after staying in bed after bleeding.
4. Aplastic anemia: Aplastic anemia is anemia caused by bone marrow hematopoietic dysfunction or failure (disorder).
Symptoms: In addition to general anemia symptoms, patients with this anemia often have subcutaneous or mucosal bleeding, chills and fever.
5. Hemolytic anemia: Hemolytic anemia refers to an anemia that occurs when the destruction of red blood cells is accelerated and the hematopoietic function of bone marrow is insufficient.
Symptoms: The clinical manifestations of hemolytic anemia are related to the urgency, degree and location of hemolysis.
Acute hemolysis: sudden onset, sudden chills, high fever, pale complexion, backache, shortness of breath, fatigue, irritability, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and other gastrointestinal symptoms.
Chronic hemolysis: slow onset. In addition to the common symptoms and signs of general anemia such as fatigue, pale face, shortness of breath and dizziness, jaundice, splenomegaly, hepatomegaly and gallstones are common complications, and obstructive jaundice may occur. Skin ulcer of ankle of lower limb is difficult to heal, which is common in patients with sickle cell anemia.
6. Physiological anemia: Anemia caused by blood dilution due to the increase of normal blood volume of human body is called physiological anemia.
Symptoms: palpitation, shortness of breath, inattention, abdominal distension, etc. In severe cases, heart failure may occur. Anemic pregnant women are also prone to a disease called pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome, and may also have prolonged labor and postpartum hemorrhage when giving birth to a baby.
Five nutritional misunderstandings leading to anemia in women
Myth 1: Do you have to stop taking drugs when anemia improves?
It is also wrong for people with anemia to take iron supplements according to the doctor's advice and stop taking drugs after seeing the anemia situation improve or stabilize. This will lead to the recurrence of anemia. The correct method is to take iron to treat iron deficiency anemia until anemia is stable, and then continue to take iron for 6 ~ 8 weeks to supplement the iron stored in the body.
Myth 2: Are eggs and milk more conducive to anemia?
Milk is nutritious, but its iron content is very low, and its absorption rate is only 10%. For example, if parents neglect to add complementary food, infants fed with milk often cause iron deficiency anemia.
Egg yolk is good for iron supplementation. Although the iron content of egg yolk is high, the iron absorption rate is only 3%, which is not a good iron supplement. Some protein in eggs can inhibit the body from absorbing iron.
Therefore, although the two foods that parents often give their children are nutritious, it is not enough to supplement iron by them alone. Animal liver not only contains high iron content, but also has an absorption rate of over 30%, which is suitable for iron supplementation.
Myth 3: Is it useless to supplement iron with vegetables and fruits?
Many people don't know that eating more fruits and vegetables is also good for iron supplementation. This is because vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamin C, citric acid and malic acid, and these organic acids can form complexes with iron, thus increasing the solubility of iron in the intestine and facilitating its absorption.
Myth 4: Eating more meat is bad for your health?
Some women mislead the general advertisement that meat is harmful to health and only pay attention to the health care function of plant food, resulting in too little intake of animal food rich in iron.
In fact, animal food is not only rich in iron, but also has an absorption rate as high as 25%. However, the absorption rate of iron in plant food is very low, about 3%, because of the interference of phytate and oxalate contained in food. Therefore, avoiding meat is easy to cause iron deficiency anemia. In daily diet, the intake of fruits, vegetables and meat should be balanced.
Myth 5: It doesn't matter if you drink more coffee and tea.
For women, excessive drinking of coffee and tea may lead to iron deficiency anemia. This is because tannic acid in tea and polyphenols in coffee can form insoluble salts with iron and inhibit the absorption of iron. Therefore, women should drink enough coffee and tea, one or two cups a day is enough.
How do anemic women adjust their diet?
Women will encounter a lot of blood consumption or blood loss in their lives. If you are not good at nourishing blood at ordinary times, it will easily lead to anemia, palpitation, dizziness, pale face, insomnia and other symptoms. You can adjust yourself in the following ways.
(1) Life conditioning: Keep a happy mood and avoid strenuous activities and fatigue. * * * Change slowly to avoid acute cerebral ischemia and fainting.
(2) Diet conditioning: Eat more green vegetables and foods with high iron content, such as egg yolk, beef, liver, kidney, kelp and beans. Drink less tea because tannic acid in tea will hinder the absorption of iron.
People with gastric acid deficiency (such as atrophic gastritis and after gastrectomy) can take some dilute hydrochloric acid orally. Hydrochloric acid can dissociate iron in food, increase the solubility of iron salts and facilitate absorption.
Eating some vitamin C is beneficial to the absorption of iron in food. When the traditional iron pan is frying food, the friction between the pan and the shovel will produce many tiny chips, and iron will dissolve in the food during heating.
(3) Dietotherapy and blood supplement:
1 lotus seed longan soup: lotus seed longan meat 30g, red dates 20g, and appropriate amount of rock sugar. Soak lotus seeds, peel them, wash them, put them in a casserole with washed longan pulp and red dates, add some water to fry them until they are crisp and rotten, and add rock sugar to taste.

The Best Diet for Anemia in Women "Wu Hong Decoction"
What is the five reds in the five reds soup? They are red dates, red beans, red-skinned peanuts, brown sugar and medlar. Just fry them into soup and drink them as water.
Chinese medicine believes that the red dates in Wu Hong decoction have the functions of strengthening the spleen, enriching blood and inducing diuresis, and red-skinned peanuts can also be used as medicine, which has the functions of nourishing blood and stopping bleeding. Lycium barbarum can nourish liver and kidney. Brown sugar can replenish qi and blood, strengthen the spleen and warm the stomach. Especially pregnant women can eat brown sugar to recuperate their bodies. Therefore, the focus of this Wuhong decoction is to enrich blood and nourish blood.
Lowering blood indexes is very dangerous for patients. For example, low white blood cells will make the body vulnerable to various infections, and low red blood cells will lead to anemia, physical weakness and poor resistance. If platelets are low, there will be problems in the coagulation mechanism, which will easily lead to internal bleeding.
Compared with the supportive treatment of western medicine, Chinese medicine hopes that patients can improve their hematopoietic capacity. Therefore, if their physique is suitable, they will recommend Wu Hong soup. But in clinical practice, it is found that Wu Hong decoction is not as good as red blood cells and platelets in improving white blood cells.
Wu Hong decoction is simple to make, convenient to eat, safe and reliable, and has been widely used in clinic. Take/kloc-0.5 ~ 30g of red dates, adzuki beans, medlar and red-skinned peanuts, add water to boil, and then add a proper amount of brown sugar for drinking once a day.
Wu Hong decoction can also treat common anemia diseases, such as dizziness and pallor caused by excessive menstrual blood loss, and can be used to replenish blood and treat anemia.
Jujube is also called jujube. Chinese medicine believes that jujube is sweet in taste and flat in nature, which can replenish spleen and stomach, invigorate qi and promote fluid production, replenish qi and blood, and improve blood deficiency. Modern medicine has also confirmed that jujube polysaccharide can promote hematopoietic function. Jujube is commonly used in folk to cook porridge and stew chicken, which can treat anemia caused by long-term illness and physical weakness.
Peanut is sweet and flat, which can benefit qi and strengthen the spleen. The red skin of peanut can nourish blood, stop bleeding, inhibit fibrinolysis, increase platelet content, improve platelet quality, and promote the hematopoietic function of bone. When making Wu Hong soup, it is recommended to use peanuts with deep red skin.
Red beans, also known as adzuki beans, are flat in nature, sweet and sour in taste, and have the functions of diuresis, spleen strengthening and swelling reduction. In recent years, it has also been found that red beans contain a variety of vitamins and trace elements, especially iron and vitamin B 12, which have the functions of enriching blood and promoting blood circulation.
