Anemia is classified as a hematological disease and requires further diagnosis and treatment in the department of hematology. In severe cases of anemia, the body can be in a state of ischemia and hypoxia, which can induce the occurrence of acute cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, such as acute angina and cerebral thrombosis. Therefore, patients with acute anemia need to have red blood cell transfusions to support treatment and correct the anemia. If the anemia is not severe, red blood cell transfusion is not necessary, but it is important to complete tests like anemia indicators, bone marrow aspiration, and bone marrow biopsy to further clarify the cause of the anemia and treat it accordingly.

How to recuperate from anemia

How to nourish anemia depends on the specific cause of the anemia, and it varies with the specific cause. If the anemia is nutritional, this type is due to a lack of hematopoietic materials such as folic acid, vitamin B12, and iron. In this case, it is necessary to actively supplement these hematopoietic materials, including eating foods that are rich in these materials. However, if the cause of anemia is due to leukemia, aplastic anemia, myeloma, lymphoma, etc., then it is necessary to treat the underlying disease to improve the anemia. In addition, patients with anemia need to pay attention to rest, prevent catching cold, and prevent infections.

What should I do about adenomyosis-related anemia?

When suffering from adenomyosis, patients often experience an increase in menstrual flow. Prolonged heavy menstrual bleeding can lead to anemia. At this time, drug treatment should be initiated first. Some medications can be used to stop bleeding, and minimally invasive surgery or interventional treatment can also be considered to remove the affected areas of adenomyosis. In terms of diet, it is important to consume foods rich in protein that aid in blood replenishment. Additionally, an appropriate supplement of vitamin B and vitamin C is necessary, and it's crucial to actively work on blood replenishment to avoid risking the patient's health. (Medication should be used under the guidance of a professional doctor.)

Can anemia cause tinnitus?

Anemia can lead to tinnitus. The occurrence of tinnitus due to anemia often indicates that the anemia is severe. At this time, transfusion of red blood cells as supportive treatment, and correcting the anemia afterwards, will make the tinnitus disappear. The reason anemia causes tinnitus is that it leads to a state of ischemia and hypoxia in various organs of the body. In the auditory system, this is manifested as tinnitus; in the nervous system, it is also manifested as dizziness, headache, a feeling of heaviness in the head, and even cerebral infarction; in the cardiovascular system, it is manifested as palpitations and panic.
