Thalassemia will cause different degrees of anemia symptoms, the body’s ability to supply oxygen is poor, causing patients to develop abnormally and have a thin body; in addition, it does not exclude the wasting caused by the unreasonable dietary structure.
Anemia: Geophagia, also known as thalassemia, belongs to a hereditary disease, which may be inherited to the next generation and may induce different degrees of anemia symptoms. Prolonged anemia, metabolic disorders and impaired oxygen supply may cause malnutrition, developmental abnormalities, gastrointestinal dyspepsia and loss of appetite, resulting in wasting of the body.
Irrational dietary structure: Thalassemia patients’ wasting may also be related to irrational dietary structure, causing malnutrition and inducing wasting symptoms.
Thalassemia patients should standardize the treatment under the guidance of physicians, correct the anemia, and pay attention to a balanced diet.
