This video aims to discuss what is Anemia (anemia kya hai), and more specifically, what is iron deficiency anemia? Anaemia (khon ki kami) is a condition in which there are not enough red blood cells to carry oxygen around the body. In everyday language anemia is also referred to as blood shortage or blood deficiency (khoon ki kami). Anemia has many causes, but when it occurs due to a lack of iron (iron ki kami) it is called iron deficiency anemia.

Iron has many important roles in our body including production of haemoglobin and healthy growth of our hair and nails. A lack of iron (iron deficiency) can cause iron deficiency symptoms (iron ki kami ki alamat). Common iron deficiency anemia symptoms (khoon ki kami ki alamat) include fatigue (kamzori ki alamat), shortness of breath, pale skin, brittle nails, spoonshaped nails and hair loss. PICCA syndrome is another one of many low ferritin symptoms. It results in the desire to consume nonfood items such as chalk, paper, clay, etc.

Diagnosis of irondeficiency anemia is made through blood tests, including a full blood count (also known as complete blood count), and a blood ferritin test. A low ferritin level indicates low iron stores in the body, and it is considered be a good iron deficiency test. Once established, an iron deficiency anemia diagnosis may lead to further investigations to determine the underlying cause.

What causes of iron deficiency anemia (iron kam kyu hota hai)? Anemia during pregnancy is common and usually a consequence of a low iron level. Heavy menstrual blood loss (periods) causes anaemia in approximately 30% of females aged between 15 and 49. Bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract can result in iron loss and anemia. Iron deficiency anaemia can also be a consequence of hookworm infection and a lack of iron in the diet.

So how can we treat iron deficiency (iron ki kami ko kaise dur kare)? The treatment of iron deficiency anaemia (jism me khoon ki kami ka ilaj) involves iron supplementation together with management of the underlying cause of the iron deficiency (khun ki kami ka ilaj). There many different iron supplements available including ferrous sulfate (ferrous sulphate), ferrous gluconate and ferrous fumarate. The use of iron tablets is often interrupted by gastric side effects of iron supplements including constipation and black stools. These iron side effects may be avoided by taking iron pills together with food. Treatment of iron deficiency (iron deficiency ka ilaj) should also focus on dietary advice to increase consumption of iron rich foods. Food rich in iron include spinach, red meat, dried fruits, lentils, and beans. Iron nutrition can also be improved by limiting consumption of foods which impair iron absorption, such as tea, coffee and chapattis. If the haemoglobin count is particularly low then a blood transfusion may be necessary for the immediate treatment of anemia symptoms (anemia ka ilaj).
