2 Malnutrition
Malnutrition anemia mainly refers to severe iron deficiency in the body, followed by anemia caused by lack of vitamins. Many women control their diet excessively, dare not touch meat, eggs and milk, and even eat less vegetable oil. They eat vegetables, radishes and other vegetarian foods for a long time, which leads to anemia. In addition to the general symptoms of anemia such as dizziness, tinnitus, vertigo, fatigue, dry and falling hair, patients may also suffer from loss of appetite, diarrhea, aphtha, glossitis, etc. 3 Iron deficiency
Iron deficiency anemia refers to a type of microcytic hypochromic anemia caused by insufficient iron storage in the body, which affects hemoglobin synthesis. It is the most common type of anemia in all parts of the world, including in my country. The incidence of this disease is very high, almost all over the world. Iron is an important trace element for hematopoiesis, and dietary iron deficiency is the main cause of anemia. In addition, hookworm infection, gastrointestinal malabsorption, gastric and duodenal ulcer bleeding, hemorrhoidal bleeding, menorrhagia in women, and functional uterine bleeding in adolescence can all cause iron deficiency anemia. 4 Blood loss
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 massive blood loss in a short period of time due to rupture of blood vessels or defects in the hemostatic mechanism due to trauma or disease process is called acute blood loss anemia.
