What is the best way to treat anemia and polycystic ovarian syndrome?
Q. I have pcos and anemia and have been on birth control for years. I took my doc.'s advice and have lost about 55lbs I totally cut out fast & junk food and my goal is to loose 50 more lbs. Is weight loss a cure for this disease? Are there different types of anemia?

A. I have PCOS too. For the anemia, my doc had me taking prenatal vitamins because there is iron in them. I don't think there is a cure for PCOS, we're just stuck with it!! :) Good job on losing the weight. I've only lost 15, but am looking to lose about 20 more.

What could cause easy bruising besides anemia?
Q. I bruise easily without any explanation. I do not bump into things, they just appear at random times and sometimes in strange places that I know could not have bumped into something. I have had blood work done to test for anemia, but I'm not anemic. Looking for other explanations.

A. Hemophilia, low platelet count, factor deficiencies. Have your physician do a coagulation wkup with PTT, APTT & Factors. Also these OTC medicines Advil, Motrin, ibuprophen (NSAIDS), aspirin, fish oils, ginger, garlic,all thin out your blood. Also excessive exposure to the sun can thin your skin.

What is the best way to cure anemia in a dog?
Q. My dog recently had major surgery and is now drastically anemic. He is still at the vet and we won't be bringing him home until he gets his appetite back. I know the anemia causes a lack of appetite and we have discussed the option of a blood transfusion. But if we can raise his iron naturally that would be my choice. Any suggestions on tempting food choices to not only get him to eat but also boost his iron at the same time?

A. Lots of meat and organs!! Your dog needs readily digestible sources of food so make sure everything is raw. My mentor's dog recently needed two transfusions after a haemorrhage and Caesarean section. It took several weeks for her appetite to kick in and he had to tempt her with all sorts of goodies. Chicken liver, lamb heart, tinned mackerel, beef offcuts, chicken quarters (bone in) etc This is now how he feeds all of his dogs. - Yay, another one for the raw side!!

How did sickle cell anemia form because of Malaria?
Q. I'm doing a presentation on sickle cell anemia and I read that it started to protect the red blood cell against malaria. I need to describe how it protects the person from malaria. Can anyone make it in simple terms for me? Im looking online and all i can find is information about malaria and a lot of medical terms that i don't understand.
Asked by FLAWDA::BABii - Thu Apr 8 12:50:32 2010 - - 1 Answers - 1 Comments
A. FLAWDA::BABii - YES, a person with sickle cell anemia (SCA) does provide some protection against getting malaria. Only in some individuals do malaria episodes progress to severe life-threatening disease, while in the majority the episodes are self-limiting. This is partly because of host genetic factors such as the sickle cell gene. The sickle cell gene is caused by a single amino acid mutation. Inheritance of this mutated gene from both parents leads to sickle cell disease and people with this disease have shorter life expectancy. On the contrary, individuals who are carriers for the sickle cell disease (with one sickle gene and one normal hemoglobin gene, also known as sickle cell trait) have some protective advantage against malaria.… [cont.]

Q. What is the treatment of Anemia causes by viral infection? Is the infection can still exist even after taken Antibiotic? Have any specific symptoms to detect whether it has caused by iron deficiency or viral infection?
Asked by riyad - Sat Jan 23 11:20:35 2010 - - 0 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Ok, first off antibiotics don't treat viral infections, only bacterial ones. So sure, it can still exist. Anemia symptoms are pretty much the same, no matter what causes the anemia. Unless you have other symptoms that also result from the same underlying problem. I'm assuming that you know from blood tests that you actually have anemia, and not something else. If not, please go see your doctor, since there could be other things going on. For example, you could have a deficiency in your platelets, too, which can be a bigger deal than the anemia. To treat anemia caused by a viral infection, assuming it's not severe enough to require a transfusion, you just have to have either an iron-rich diet or take an iron supplement.

What causes symptoms in pernicious anemia?

A. I thought this was a result of an iron deficiency, so I looked this term up on the internet. This is what I found: People who have pernicious anemia can't absorb enough vitamin B12 from food due to a lack of intrinsic (in-TRIN-sik) factor, a protein made in the stomach. This leads to vitamin B12 deficiency. The condition is called pernicious ("deadly") anemia because it was often fatal in the past, before vitamin B12 treatments were available. Now, pernicious anemia usually is easy to treat with vitamin B12 pills or shots. With ongoing care and proper treatment, most people who have pernicious anemia can recover, feel well, and live normal lives.

A. The important part of anemia is knowing what's causing it. You can't afford not to see a doctor because if you have a serious problem that is causing you to lose blood, you may also lose your life. Is your stool (poop) tarry looking, as in dark black? What signs and symptoms do you have? Since we don't know the cause of your anemia, it's difficult to give suggestions. However, you can try taking a vitamin with iron (some of the women's formulas are good). Eat healthy foods like dark leafy vegetables (spinach, salads like romaine lettuce), cantaloupe, strawberries, baked potatoes with the skin, eggs, dried beans, and cereals fortified with iron. If your symptoms increase, or if you notice bleeding, get to a doc asap.

A. 1) The doctors will prepare a medical board report. If he has over 3 years service, there is a presumption of service aggravation. That report will be sent to the Physical Evaluation Board for a determination of disability rating. If the rating is 30% or less, and your husband accepts it, he will be discharged with severance pay. If the percentage is 30% or higher he will be transferred to the Disability Retired List, with all base privileges for his dependents and himself (including medical benefits). 2) If he has less than three years of service, the medical board will recommend his discharge for a disqualifying medical condition which existed prior to his entry.

A. You can see the lining of your eye sockets! Use your good eye to look for the one that fell out. Sorry, I think you meant you sclera or cornea. The eye socket is the cavity that the orbit, eye ball, sits in. You can try to guess from the symptoms, but a blood test is the only way to know within reasonable accuracy.

What is the specific gravity of the copper sulfate solution they test blood for anemia with?
Q. Like when you go to a blood drive and they have to test you for anemia, I know they use a copper sulfate solution. But does anyone know the ratio of copper sulfate to water they use? (well I'm assuming it's just those two chemicals)

A. The specific gravity is 2.28 (hydrated) 3.6 (anhydrous).

A. If you don't want to take vitamins (which you should be doing anyway for good health) then I suggest meats like steak and dark green veggies such as romaine lettuce which are high in iron. Iron is what you need to help with being anemic.
