Iron Deficiency Anemia treatment in Mexico City

Iron-deficiency anemia occurs when the body does not have enough iron to produce hemoglobin, the protein of the red blood cells that carries oxygen. As a consequence, the tissues receive less oxygen than they need.

Common symptoms: tiredness, paleness, shortness of breath on exertion, dizziness and, at times, fragile nails.

Common causes: insufficient iron intake, blood loss, or a greater demand from the body can favor its appearance.

Which specialist treats it? The hematologist is the professional who studies this type of anemia and its origin. If the tiredness or paleness persists, it is worth discussing it with a professional to understand what is behind it.
