Anemia is a medical condition characterized by a lack of healthy red blood cells or hemoglobin in the bloodstream. This can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, pale skin, and shortness of breath. Anemia can result from various factors, including iron deficiency, vitamin deficiencies, chronic diseases, or underlying health conditions. Treatment typically involves addressing the underlying cause and may include dietary changes, supplements, or medication to boost red blood cell production. Early detection and management are essential for improving symptoms and overall health.
