Anemia is a medical condition characterized by a deficiency of red blood cells or hemoglobin in the blood, resulting in reduced oxygen-carrying capacity. It can be caused by various factors, including inadequate production of red blood cells, increased destruction of red blood cells, or blood loss. Symptoms of anemia may include fatigue, weakness, pale skin, shortness of breath, dizziness, and rapid or irregular heartbeat. Treatment of anemia depends on the underlying cause and may involve dietary changes, iron or vitamin supplements, medication, or blood transfusions.
