What should men do if they have Mediterranean anemia?

Mediterranean anemia is extremely harmful to us. People with Mediterranean anemia should eat fresh fruits and vegetables regularly, and avoid spicy and greasy foods. Try not to stay up late at night, pay more attention to rest, exercise more, and avoid crowded places to avoid causing other symptoms. At the same time, pay more attention to the combination of diet. The following is some information about Mediterranean anemia collected by the editor, let's take a look.

Mediterranean anemia syndrome is a group of inherited hemoglobin synthesis disorders with many types and varying degrees of clinical manifestations. This type of genetic defect is common in Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan provinces. According to surveys, several people out of every hundred carry this gene defect, which is extremely harmful to humans. Especially for severe patients, from childhood to adulthood, it will not only lead to "bankruptcy" but even "destruction of the family", bringing misfortune and economic losses to the family and society. For this reason, actively carrying out prenatal genetic diagnosis is a preventive measure with great value. Various genetic diagnostic kits are currently on sale, and there are many reports of successful prenatal diagnosis, but further promotion and application remain to be resolved. There is currently no effective treatment.

Treatment principles:

1. Those with mild symptoms do not need treatment;

2. Severe cases or those with hemolytic crisis often require blood transfusions. For severe β-anemia, early and regular blood transfusions are helpful for children's development. Frequent blood transfusions can cause secondary hemochromatosis. Iron chelators should be given to promote iron excretion.

3. Patients with splenomegaly may consider splenectomy;

4. In case of hemolytic crisis, glucocorticoids can be tried;

5. Prevent complications;

6. If conditions permit, allogeneic bone marrow transplantation or allogeneic stem cell transplantation can be tried.

Through the above information, I believe everyone must have some understanding of thalassemia. Friends with thalassemia must not let themselves have too much pressure, which is not good for the disease. They should also maintain an optimistic attitude and have the confidence to overcome the disease. Usually, try not to go to some entertainment places, and go out more if you have time.
