Anemia Care: Causes, Symptoms, and Prevention

What is anemia?

Anemia is the condition wherein your blood lacks the capability to produce red blood cells or hemoglobin – this is a vital part of the red blood cell which binds oxygen, therefore, if you have low hemoglobin, the cells in your body will lack oxygen altogether. For those who have this condition, anemia care and anemia treatment should be done with the most effort from their primary care provider, like us, Julphar.

Who are at risks of anemia?


  • Women, children, and people with chronic diseases
  • it is sometimes hereditary, so infants might be affected by the time they were born.
  • Women in their childbearing years
  • Older adults, because of their poor diet


What are the causes of anemia?

There are actually 400 types of anemia, and they are classified into three:

  • The types that are caused by blood loss
  • The types that are caused by faulty red blood cells production
  • The types that are caused by the destruction of the red blood cells.


What are the symptoms of anemia?

The symptoms that you will feel will depend on the cause of your anemia, like:

  • A headache
  • Fatigue
  • Cold hands and feet
  • Weakness
  • Chest pain
