What are the dangers of anemia to women?

Anemia is a disease that many people do not take seriously, and many people do not think it is a very serious disease. There are many people suffering from anemia in life, and once the disease occurs, it will cause great consequences to people. After these consequences occur, they will also bring serious troubles to people's lives. Many uncomfortable phenomena will also be frequently found at this time. There are also many dangers of anemia in women. So what are the dangers of anemia to women?

1. The harm of anemia to pregnant women and fetuses

For pregnant women, the hazards of moderate anemia are mainly manifested in the following aspects: First, anemia in pregnant women will lead to low plasma protein concentration, produce fewer antibodies, weaken the function of macrophages, and reduce immunity and poor disease resistance. At this time, pregnant women are also very prone to infection. The lower the hemoglobin content of the mother, the greater the possibility of postpartum infection. In addition, when pregnant women are anemic, their blood's ability to carry oxygen will be low. In chronic mild anemia, there will be no discomfort symptoms, but in severe anemia or acute excessive blood loss, the heart rate will increase, the output will increase, the blood flow will speed up, and the burden on the heart will be increased. If the condition continues to develop, pregnant women will suffer from myocardial hypoxia and lead to anemic heart disease, or even congestive heart failure; when hemoglobin is <50g/L, pregnant women will suffer from myocardial damage, and will also cause fetal maldevelopment, decreased intelligence and other problems.

2. Damage to the body

Human red blood cells have a strong oxygen-carrying function. The transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body is achieved through the circulation of blood. Once a person is anemic, the hemoglobin in the body will decrease, the blood's oxygen transport capacity will be reduced, causing tissue hypoxia, and the body will not be able to get enough oxygen to maintain life's metabolic activities.

3. Harm to young women

Moderate anemia in adolescent girls will cause infrequent and light-colored menstruation. If people do not discover and treat it in time, the body will be more threatened and damaged, which will affect people's study, life and work.

2. Enlarged liver and spleen, accelerated heart rate, enlarged heart, and heart failure may occur in severe cases.

3. Decreased digestive function, loss of appetite, poor absorption, and frequent diarrhea.

4. Lack of concentration and feeling breathless and weak after a little activity.

5. In the later stages of anemia, edema of the head, face, and lower limbs may occur.
