Is blood transfusion good for pregnant women with anemia?

Once a pregnant woman suffers from anemia, she will easily feel dizzy, weak, anxious, short of breath, and lose her appetite. Her skin will become pale and bloodless, and her nails will become flat. This will not only affect the pregnant woman's own body, but the fetus in her womb will also be prone to developmental abnormalities. During pregnancy, the diet should be nutritious and comprehensive. Do not be picky about food. Eat more fish, animal offal and other foods, because these foods are rich in iron and can prevent anemia in pregnant women to the greatest extent.

If it's serious, you'll lose. Although blood transfusion has certain risks, it is not recommended unless it is absolutely necessary. You can take blood and iron supplements under the guidance of a doctor, drink more red dates and brown sugar water, pork liver, etc. If you do not want a blood transfusion, you can consider a cesarean section in advance. It's okay if the blood products are safe. There will be no problem if the hospital does a good job of monitoring. Besides, if she doesn’t get a blood transfusion, her life might be in danger during delivery.

Pregnant women with anemia can receive blood transfusions, which will not affect the fetus. One pound of blood is required for each transfusion, and each pound costs about 500 yuan. The specific treatment will be decided by the doctor. Pregnant women should improve their diet and eat foods rich in iron. Among animal foods, liver, blood tofu and meat have high iron content and are well absorbed. Egg yolks also contain iron. Vegetables have lower iron content and are poorly absorbed, but fresh green vegetables are rich in folic acid. Folic acid is involved in the production of red blood cells. Folic acid deficiency causes macrocytic anemia and can also cause mixed anemia. Therefore, a certain amount of meat, liver, and blood tofu should be consumed in the diet.

Through the above introduction, I believe everyone already knows whether pregnant women with anemia need blood transfusion. Let me emphasize again here that blood transfusion is not something that can be performed casually. It should only be considered when anemia is very severe. Pregnant women should pay attention to high protein in their daily diet, and also pay attention to supplementing more vitamin B and vitamin C, especially vitamin C, which can promote the body's absorption of iron and should be supplemented more.
