What should girls do if they have anemia during puberty?

Girls will experience many physical symptoms during puberty, the first of which is a change in height. At this time, the child will grow taller rapidly. If the patient eats too much, it will easily lead to obesity, and it will be difficult for the patient to grow taller. Secondly, you will find that the child's breasts are developing and the chest is getting bigger. However, girls may also suffer from many diseases and abnormalities during puberty, such as anemia, which is caused by improper diet. So what should girls do if they suffer from anemia during puberty?

(1) Attract high attention. Although adolescent anemia does not directly threaten life, it is very detrimental to physical health and development. Especially if iron deficiency in teenage girls is not corrected, they are likely to develop severe anemia during pregnancy, childbirth and lactation after marriage, which will not only cause pain to themselves but also affect the second generation. Therefore, anemia in teenage girls should be taken seriously.

(2) A clear diagnosis should be made and the cause identified. Girls who may suffer from anemia or have symptoms such as pale complexion, general fatigue, dizziness, palpitations, tinnitus, blurred vision, memory loss, dry and dull hair, ingrown nails, and dry skin should go to the hospital for a blood test in time to confirm the diagnosis.

Doctors believe that, under normal circumstances, through laboratory tests, women's hemoglobin index should not be lower than 100 grams/liter, and the red blood cell count should not be less than (3.5-5)×1012/L (3.5-5 million/cubic millimeter). If it is lower than this indicator, they may suffer from anemia.

(3) Active prevention and treatment should be carried out. To prevent the occurrence of iron deficiency anemia, first of all, pay attention to taking in enough iron from the diet, and choose more foods that are rich in iron and easily absorbed, such as beef, animal blood, pork liver, fish, kelp, hair algae, seaweed, fungus, shiitake mushrooms, as well as celery, beans, eggs, etc.

In an acidic environment, iron can be reduced to its low form, making it easier to absorb. Therefore, adding vinegar to the diet or taking vitamin C orally can increase iron absorption. In addition, we should pay attention to the diversification of daily food, not be partial or picky about food, try to combine coarse grains and fine grains, animal foods and plant foods, and eat more green, yellow and orange vegetables.

Once anemia is diagnosed, iron and vitamin C should be supplemented in time under the guidance of a doctor. If anemia is caused by diseases in other body systems, the primary disease should be treated actively. Necessary medicines and nutrition are important, but we should also pay attention to strengthening our physical fitness and persist in physical exercise. Regularly participating in various cultural and sports activities, maintaining a strong body, a happy spirit and an optimistic mood, is very beneficial for preventing and treating anemia.

Girls during puberty should eat more nutritious food, not be picky about food, and not only eat the foods they like. Their daily diet should be light, and they should combine food reasonably so that the nutrition can meet the needs of their physical development. Patients should pay attention when they find symptoms of anemia. They can use iron-containing medications or supplement iron through food. However, it should be remembered that there are many types of anemia, and patients must supplement the cause of the disease when supplementing iron.
