Anemia during pregnancy can be treated by eating more iron-rich foods, but relying solely on food to correct anemia is ineffective and requires concomitant oral medication.
Physiological anemia can occur during pregnancy due to the increase in total blood volume of pregnant women without significant changes in the number of blood cells. At the same time, pregnant women’s demand for iron, vitamins and folic acid increases, and pathologic anemia may easily occur when supplementation is insufficient.
Foods rich in iron, such as lean meat, pork liver, spinach, etc., can be consumed, supplemented with vitamin C to promote iron absorption. Reasonable supplementation of vitamin B12 and folic acid can avoid the occurrence of megaloblastic anemia.
During pregnancy, anemia can be corrected through food, but it can not play a therapeutic role, it is recommended to timely hospital consultation, complete the relevant examinations, under the guidance of doctors to carry out targeted treatment and therapy.
