What are the symptoms of anemia in girls?

Nowadays, women not only have to face family pressure but also work pressure, which has led many women to ignore their health problems. In life, many women are troubled by anemia, but many people think that anemia is no big deal, so they do not seek timely treatment after anemia occurs. In fact, this is very bad for health. So what are the symptoms of anemia in women?

Symptoms of anemia in women:

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 red tea or soy sauce-like in color (hemoglobinuria). If there is circulatory failure at the same time, oliguria, anuria and acute renal failure may occur.

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.

Neurologic 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.

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.

Cardiovascular 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.

Now everyone should have some understanding of the symptoms of anemia in women. Generally speaking, there are quite a few symptoms of anemia. When the conditions described in this article occur, everyone must pay enough attention and conduct timely diagnosis and treatment to avoid delaying the disease and causing more serious consequences.
