The 7-year-old girl's face has become much darker in the past week

Some children always have problems, which are often caused by problems with nutrition or immune system. The seven-year-old girl's face lost a lot of radiance and became much darker in just one week. Many people think that the darkening of the skin is caused by weather or some other reason. But in fact, it is a condition of anemia that causes changes in the skin tone and glow of people's faces. So what approach should be taken to solve this situation?

Anemia refers to a symptom caused by the concentration of red blood cells or hemoglobin in the human body's peripheral blood being lower than normal. The manifestations of anemia are multifaceted. Common anemia symptoms in life include pale face and lips, palpitations, fatigue, etc. What is hemoglobin? What is the function of hemoglobin? (1) The substances that flow with blood in the human body's peripheral blood vessels are blood cells, mainly including red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets, among which red blood cells account for the largest proportion of blood cells. Hemoglobin is located inside red blood cells and is the main component of red blood cells.

(2) Since hemoglobin is the main component of red blood cells, the degree of hemoglobin reduction can be used as an indicator for judging anemia.

(4) The main function of hemoglobin is to transport oxygen to various tissues in the body for use by the tissues, and to excrete waste produced by the tissues. With fewer vehicles transporting oxygen, they have to work overtime, which will cause shortness of breath and rapid heartbeat. Over time, they will suffer from chronic hypoxia and damage more organs. Who is prone to anemia? The following types of people are prone to anemia:

(1) Children: It is especially common in infants under 1 year old. However, infants between 2 and 4 months old may suffer from physiological anemia, which does not pose a threat to their health.

(2) Adult women: mainly those with heavy menstrual flow and those who are pregnant, who are at high risk of anemia.

(3) Elderly people: Elderly people are more susceptible to anemia because their bone marrow hematopoietic function and nutrient digestion and absorption function are reduced. Is anemia hereditary? Since anemia is often a manifestation of other diseases, the key to whether anemia is hereditary lies in the cause of the anemia. In real life, only a very small number of anemias are hereditary, such as hereditary spherocytosis and thalassemia.

(1) Treatment of symptoms: If anemia is severe, red blood cells can be transfused; drugs that promote red blood cell production, such as erythropoietin, can be used to stimulate hematopoiesis; if anemia leads to organ damage, organ protection treatment should be given; if anemia leads to infection, anti-infection treatment is required.

(2) Treatment of the cause: The disease that causes anemia should be actively identified and treated for the primary disease, such as malignant tumors, kidney disease, etc.

The treatment of anemia must pay attention to the treatment of the cause. If the cause of anemia or the primary disease cannot be corrected, anemia will be difficult to cure.

Can anemia be treated by adjusting diet?

Some patients with anemia, especially those suffering from a lack of hematopoietic raw materials, can improve their anemia symptoms or even be cured by adjusting their diet. For example, nutritional iron deficiency anemia can be improved or cured by eating iron-rich foods. For anemia caused by lack of non-hematopoietic raw materials, diet therapy alone cannot replace drug treatment, but adjusting the diet can achieve certain improvement effects.
