summary

Iron deficiency anemia is a pathological phenomenon that the number of red blood cells and hemoglobin (hemoglobin) in the blood are lower than the normal value, and it has also become a small cell hypochromic anemia. Before drug treatment, iron deficiency anemia should first carry out relevant examination, try to find the cause of anemia, and treat it according to the cause of anemia. Let's talk about iron deficiency anemia treatment.

Treatment of iron deficiency anemia

First, after oral administration of tiezhiyuan tablets, the number of reticulocytes will increase, hemoglobin will begin to rise after one week, and it will be close to normal after about one to two months. If there is no good reaction after 3 weeks of iron supplement, we should go to the hospital to check whether the original diagnosis is correct, whether the etiology is removed, whether the oral iron has obstacles and whether there is anemia caused by other diseases.

Second: to treat anemia, we must first remove the root of iron deficiency and supplement iron at the same time. The main causes of iron deficiency anemia are: lack of iron in diet, chronic blood loss (menorrhagia, ulcer, hemorrhoids, etc.) or increased need for iron (pregnancy, lactation or children's growth need a lot of iron), and gastrointestinal dysfunction caused by various reasons, resulting in iron absorption disorders, parasitic infection, etc.

Third: Patients with iron deficiency anemia should develop healthy living habits, which is conducive to the prevention of anemia. Do not overeat, over diet, drink strong tea or chew tea. High risk groups of iron deficiency anemia should eat more foods rich in iron, such as pig liver, pig blood, beef, egg yolk, black fungus, spinach, red dates, etc.

matters needing attention

Iron supplement should not be taken with milk or tea. Iron should be taken after meals to reduce gastrointestinal irritation. Iron deficiency anemia needs to insist on iron supplement. It should be supplemented for at least two to three months to make hemoglobin return to normal
