Overweight may lead to poor blood circulation, insufficient nutrient absorption, and anemia. It could also be caused by insufficient production of red blood cells or excessive destruction of red blood cells. Additionally, certain diseases, such as iron-deficiency anemia and aplastic anemia, can also lead to anemia.
1. Insufficient nutrient absorption: Excessive nutrient intake in the body can lead to the inability of the body to fully absorb and utilize these nutrients, resulting in the loss of stored nutrients in the body. Over time, this can cause anemia.
2. Insufficient production of red blood cells: Insufficient production of red blood cells can affect normal blood circulation and weaken the body's digestive system, affecting the absorption and utilization of nutrients. Over time, this can lead to anemia.
3. Excessive destruction of red blood cells: Excessive destruction of red blood cells can affect normal hematopoiesis and shorten the lifespan of red blood cells, leading to anemia over time, such as hemolytic anemia.
4. Iron-deficiency anemia: Iron-deficiency anemia is caused by a lack of iron in the body. It may be due to insufficient iron intake, iron absorption disorders, or excessive iron loss. Symptoms include pale complexion, fatigue, and mental lethargy. It can also lead to decreased immune function and a lack of iron in the body. Treatment includes taking iron supplements such as ferrous gluconate and ferrous sulfate under a doctor's guidance.
5. Aplastic anemia: Aplastic anemia is a condition caused by multiple factors that leads to the failure of bone marrow hematopoiesis. Symptoms include pale complexion, fatigue, palpitations, and shortness of breath. It can even damage the spleen and affect the production of red blood cells, causing anemia. Treatment includes taking cyclosporine soft capsules and compound cyclophosphamide tablets under a doctor's guidance.
Other conditions such as megaloblastic anemia, hemolytic anemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, renal anemia, and chronic viral hepatitis caused by being overweight may also lead to anemia. Therefore, it is recommended to consult a hematologist promptly to determine the specific cause.
