About Anaemia in Bengaluru
Anaemia is a condition in which the blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells or haemoglobin to carry adequate oxygen to the body's tissues. It is extremely common in India, disproportionately affecting women, children, and pregnant individuals, largely due to widespread iron-deficient diets. The condition can arise from reduced red blood cell production, increased destruction of red blood cells, or blood loss, with iron deficiency being by far the most common underlying cause locally. Symptoms develop gradually as the body's oxygen-carrying capacity declines, often going unnoticed until they significantly affect daily functioning. Identifying and treating the underlying cause, alongside correcting the deficiency, is essential for full recovery.
