Why Screening Matters

Anemia is often dismissed as normal tiredness, especially in women with heavy periods. Without testing, the underlying cause cannot be identified, and treatment may be misdirected. Iron supplements do not help B12-deficiency anemia, and vice versa. Proper diagnosis through blood tests ensures the right treatment and prevents complications.

Understanding Anemia

Anemia, characterized by low hemoglobin or red blood cell count, affects over 50% of Indian women and 25% of Indian men. Iron deficiency is the most common cause, but anemia can also result from vitamin B12 deficiency, folate deficiency, chronic disease, thalassemia trait, or bone marrow problems. Each type requires a different treatment approach.

Symptoms of anemia include fatigue, weakness, pale skin, breathlessness on exertion, dizziness, and cold hands and feet. Severe anemia strains the heart and can lead to heart failure if untreated. A complete blood count with iron studies and vitamin levels can pinpoint the exact type and guide effective treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the normal hemoglobin level?
Normal hemoglobin is 13–17 g/dL for men and 12–16 g/dL for women. Levels below 12 g/dL in women and 13 g/dL in men generally indicate anemia.
Can anemia be serious?
Yes. Severe or prolonged anemia strains the heart, impairs cognitive function, weakens immunity, and during pregnancy can cause complications for both mother and baby.
Why do I need more than just a hemoglobin test?
Hemoglobin tells you that you are anemic, but iron studies, B12, folate, and a peripheral smear reveal the type and cause — which is essential for choosing the right treatment.
