What are Causes of Anemia: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 11:23, 14 July 2023

The most common cause of anemia is not eating enough food rich in iron, since iron is needed to make red blood cells.

Other causes are:

Malaria, which destroys red blood cells.

Any kind of blood loss, such as:

heavy monthly bleeding (an intra-uterine device, or IUD, can make bleeding heavier)
childbirth
bloody diarrhea (dysentery) from parasites and worms
bleeding stomach ulcers
a wound that bleeds a lot
