Primary Polycythemia

Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy

Primary polycythemia is a blood disorder in which the bone marrow produces an excessive amount of red blood cells, making the blood thicker than normal.

Common symptoms: It may be accompanied by headache, dizziness, skin redness, itching after bathing, and a feeling of heaviness or fatigue.

When to see a doctor? When these problems occur persistently, or when abnormalities are detected in routine blood tests, it is worth looking deeper into the condition.

Which specialist treats it? The hematologist is the specialist who evaluates and follows up on this type of blood disorder, making them the right choice for a thorough review.
