This will lead to anemia and low red blood cells. Second, pathological: clinically, it can also be due to certain diseases, causing red blood cell decline during pregnancy, such as hypersplenism, leukemia, aplastic anemia, myelodysplastic syndromes and other conditions, can lead to red blood cell deviation, requiring hospitalization. If a pregnant woman develops low red blood cell deviation, it is necessary to comprehensively assess whether there are symptoms of anemia, and also combine hemoglobin, red blood cell specific volume and average red blood cell volume in routine blood tests to determine what kind of anemia is caused, and to give appropriate medication and dietary guidance. Pregnant women are more likely to develop iron deficiency anemia, which can be treated with oral iron supplements and vitamin supplements as prescribed by the doctor. Regular obstetric examination, review the blood routine, according to the effect of treatment, adjust the medication.
