Iron-Deficiency Anemia (Overview) | Causes, Pathophysiology, Signs & Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment

I have chronic anemia ( being treated ongoing) and no Dr. told me about mouth ulcers. I have a mouth ulcer on the inside of my mouth encroaching on my lip. It started out very small, but over 2 years it has grown significantly. I am now referred to a plastic surgeon for consultation. My family Dr. has not made the connection between my anemia and mouth ulcer. Thank you for the comprehensive analysis of low iron.

That was very helpful. Thank you

Do men get this condition also??

Hello how long will it take until the symptoms go away? I have an irondeficiency anemia, my ferritin is at 9 and my hemoglobin is 11.8 ng/ml

I take 100mg iron now, how long will it take until i feel normal again? Because it came out that my ferritin was under 20 since 2019
I can barely walk and feel like my lungs get no air as soon as I walk a few steps, also i feel dizzy and unconcentrated
I always thought it was normal for me being that pale and having cold hands and feet all the time :(

What if ferritin is <1?

Excellent tutorial!!

What about sudden loss? Like it can't be from another disease or period or whatever?

Thank you so much sir

Mines 88, nhs is crap

Can the tongue have purple spots ?

What if you’re just low on Ferritin? My serum iron, tibc, and transferritin all came out normal. My ferritin level is 15.

Easy to understand 😍

👍👍🙏

Good

HOPE SOMEONE SEES THIS AND HELPS ME, I have iron deficiency (self diagnosed from the symptoms and I have been a heavy flow since I started my period so I know that's the cause). This year I finally decided to get on some OTC iron supplements and my period not only got EXTREMELY HEAVIER! IT ALSO LASTED 14 DAYS! I thought these were just the first month side effects and continued and it just continued that way, when I stop them, my period goes back to normal but when I start taking them again, the problem persists. I have also tried Multi vitamins that have iron in them ( different brand too) but got the same results, It is so frustrating as I am trying to get better but it seems they make me worse. Right now I cannot afford to get blood tests as it is expensive and I am unemployed. What do I do ? Please advise.🙏

Omg. I have bad angular cheilitis. My iron levels came back normal though.

Thank you

Excellent content and clear, simple delivery. Thanks.

Also B vitamins are daily essentials for red blood cell production, as well as for numerous other functions in our body. They can not be taken too much as are water soluable vitamins (just like C vitamin, an amazing antioxidant & immunity booster!) meaning the excess flushes away in urea.

B12 vitamin is crucial for brain, memory & neurologal functions.
All B vitamins are energy boosters and required daily. Children, teens/students, pregnant women, elderly need them even more. Buy pure supplementaryproducts from naturalhealthshops or their providers(instead ofBigpharma, as their dosage/price ratio is often no good).

Would enteric coated aspirin , which I think dissolves in the small intestine cause low hemoglobin count ?

Wow this explains a lot of the other symptoms I was having

Helpful 🙏

Exallent lecture on anemia

I thought physicians says there is no cure for HSV, I got rid of my hsv2 after using the medication I ordered from droigiangbe I am indeed grateful doctor

I am anemic and my son has g6pd enzyme deficiency which I found out I am a female heterozygote carrier and it skips generations and usually lands on first born son. It causes hemolysis if you have any trigger foods or substances like sulfa drugs or fava beans. We are Persian and eat fava beans seasonally. I didn’t know he had this enzyme deficiency which effects the red blood cells and when he had fava beans he almost died and needed 6 bags of blood and hemoglobin went extremely low and his lips turned blue and he was peeing the color of blood or “coca cola” because the bilirubin was also going crazy. It was a very scary event that led us to the hospital with him jaundiced and high fever and I knew something was very wrong and I was screaming bringing him to the ER saying that my child was dying so someone quickly could give him attention. The hematologist there instantly knew this was from fava beans and we just never would have known but fava beans really are deadly and hard to digest for even people without g6pd but others bodies and blood can recover the losses better so they don’t have reactions, but you can tell from your pee being darker sometimes. I personally won’t eat fava beans again after what they did to my son. We are anemic and we take iron supplements and try to eat more: dark turkey, apricots, dark chocolate, mushrooms, spinach, iron fortified cereals, red meat, liver, tuna, etc. I would not recommend fava bean consumption to anyone with iron deficiency or anemia in general unless you want to exacerbate the problem. There is a name for it and it’s called “Favism.” It is possible g6pd is in your genetics if you are showing up anemic and iron deficient. It’s something to look into if Mediterranean or Asian descent or African American.

I have iron deficiency anemia and vitamin d deficiency... NO WONDER I HAD HAIR LOSS FROM THE AGE OF 6-16, the majority of my life.

Ive also always had most of these symptons but i thought it was just because of "winter"

Northern Europeans can have chronic iron deficiency in the family so it can be assumed if ur tired ur deficient, esp during pregnancy it's very common.

Great video , thank you for sharing ❤️

Doctors say I have iron deficiency if it’s left untreated I might have health problems luckily I’m taking iron supplements medicine and shots I hope I survive:)

Nature is indeed the solution to all diseases, sicknesses, and viruses.After living with iron deficiency anaemia for many years now, am free from iron deficiency anaemia all. Thanks to Dr oshara natural healing . I definitely recommend him

Thank you sir fer this lesson U m 59 and I m anemic .

Thank you sir 😊

what about smoking? does quitting smoking cause anything?

I was in Italy Oct 2019 and could not enjoy the wine as my tongue was burning. Felt like thrush but no coating. I walked over 5 miles/day. Felt good otherwise. Within 2 weeks home so fatigued and thought I was being lazy! Went to donate blood.& was denied as my Hgb. Was 9 Gms. Low Feritin Lab work identified IDA. Biopsy on small bowl = Celiac Disease. Getting iron infusions. Thanks for an awesome well presented presentation. New subscriber here! 👏👏👏
