What are the symptoms of anemia in women? How to regulate?

Anemia is a symptom that most women have, but the severity of anemia varies from person to person. However, no matter how serious the anemia is, it has a great impact on women's health. So what are the specific symptoms of anemia in women?

Symptoms of anemia in women

1. Neurological manifestations

When anemia is severe, neurological symptoms are also common, especially in elderly patients. Common symptoms include dizziness, headache, tinnitus, sleepiness, difficulty concentrating, slow reaction, numbness in hands and feet, chills or tingling. Severe anemia may cause fainting. If anemia occurs suddenly, the patient often becomes irritable and restless.

2. Digestive system manifestations

Loss of appetite is one of the most common symptoms. Abdominal distension, discomfort in the epigastric area, nausea, and constipation may also occur. Sometimes there may be tongue pain and a smooth tongue coating. In severe anemia, the liver may be slightly enlarged, which is particularly obvious when heart failure occurs, and is often tender.

3. Urinary system manifestations

Patients with severe anemia may have a small amount of protein in their urine and a slightly reduced urine concentration function, but unless they already have kidney disease, it generally does not cause an increase in blood urea nitrogen. When acute massive intravascular hemolysis occurs, the urine may become the color of red tea or soy sauce (hemoglobinuria). If there is circulatory failure at the same time, oliguria, anuria and acute renal failure may occur.

4. Cardiovascular system manifestations

Palpitations and shortness of breath after physical activity are the most common symptoms. When anemia is severe or there is heart failure, palpitations and shortness of breath may occur even when resting. Patients with coronary artery disease may experience angina pectoris. Some patients do not usually suffer from angina pectoris, but angina pectoris may occur due to anemia which aggravates the degree of myocardial ischemia.

5. Reproductive system manifestations

Female patients often have irregular menstruation, with amenorrhea being the most common. Anemia is often caused by menorrhagia, but occasionally anemia can also cause menorrhagia. Patients with severe anemia often have decreased libido.

Five golden rules for nourishing blood

1. God

What does it mean to nourish the spirit? It means to always stay energetic, calm, and maintain a cheerful and optimistic attitude, turning troubles into things that are easy to solve. This can not only enhance the body's resistance, but also promote the hematopoietic function of bones. At the same time, people who laugh more often always look more radiant.

2. Food

Food is the most important thing for people. If you want to replenish blood and qi, you should pay more attention to diet. Eat more raw materials for blood production - high-quality protein, and don't forget to supplement vitamins and trace elements. Women who know how to eat often eat mainly foods such as animal liver, kidney, fish, blood, and soy products, and pair them with seasonal blood-replenishing fruits after meals.

3. Sleep

A woman’s lack of energy is closely related to sleep. The scientific way to sleep is to sleep at regular times and in regular amounts. You can't not sleep, but you can't sleep too much either. As a working woman, we should get enough sleep, develop a habit of not staying up late, go to bed before 11:30, and wake up naturally in the morning without being woken by an alarm clock. In this way, by following the principle of being active during the day and resting at night, you can better nourish the blood and replenish qi.

4. Movement

Beautiful white-collar women who are busy working in big cities all know that if they don’t exercise for a week, their muscles and bones will become tired. If you don't exercise for a month, your skin will start to become rough; if you don't exercise for two months, your limbs will become weak. If you don't exercise for half a year, you are likely to get sick. All of this is due to lack of training. Only regular exercise can activate the blood and promote blood regeneration.

5. Medicine

All medicines are poisonous to some extent, but the medicine here refers to the use of traditional Chinese medicine combined with food to form a medicated diet that replenishes blood and qi. Alternatively, you can take blood-enriching and iron-nourishing supplements, such as Tiezhiyuan tablets. Chinese medicinal herbs that replenish qi and blood include Codonopsis pilosula, red dates, wolfberry, Polygonum multiflorum, etc. You can mix it yourself as a health-preserving soup for daily drinking, which can have the effect of replenishing blood and also bring out other effects of medicinal materials.
