Here are the different types and causes of anemia
Iron-deficiency Anemia
Iron deficiency anemia is a prevalent type of anemia, which occurs due to the deficiency of mineral iron in your body. The hemoglobin in your body is produced with the help of iron. Hemoglobin carries the oxygen in your blood. The insufficiency of iron will lead to hemoglobin carrying a lesser amount of blood to reach your body than it needs. The symptoms of iron deficiency anemia are very common and mostly go unnoticed by people. There are some moderate to severe symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, pale skin, short breath, dizziness, swelling of the tongue, brittle nails, headache, cold body, extreme craving and more. Moreover, most people remain unaware of the standard iron deficiency that causes Dubai. Besides iron deficiency, there are a lot more reasons for Iron deficiency anemia striking people. These includes:
Insufficient iron intake
The intake of iron is essential among young children and pregnant women. However, it’s less consumption daily can lead to a shortage of iron in your body. To overcome this deficiency, eatables such as eggs, meat, and green vegetables will help to increase the amount of iron in your body.
Heavy blood loss during mensuration and pregnancy
It leads to a deficiency of iron in most of the women.
Inability to absorb iron
Sometimes, your body is prone to become less capable of absorbing iron after going through a surgery or disorder. These disorders and operations such as celiac disease and bypass surgery respectively limit your body to absorb iron and hence, harmfully affect the intestines of your body.
Internal bleeding
Several medical conditions such as an ulcer in your stomach and colon cancer can result in internal bleeding, which in turn, reduces the level of iron in your body.

Aplastic Anemia
Aplastic Anemia is known as the inability of your body to produce enough blood cells. Moreover, it leads to harmful effects on your body, such as infections and unstoppable bleeding. Aplastic anemia is like a worm-eating disease, which occurs slowly and keeps on getting worse over a while. Sometimes, this severe and rare disease develops suddenly without getting noticed. It can go from very fatal to very severe.
Aplastic Anemia symptoms UAE are recognized to be very common such as fatigue, pale skin, short breath, rapid heartbeat, skin rash, headache, dizziness, nose bleeding, gum bleeding and prolonged infections.
The leading cause of Aplastic anemia is recognized as the damage to the bone marrow inside your body. Bone marrow is known as the red, spongy material in your bone, which produces stem cells, which, in turn, is responsible for creating other blood cells in your body. The damage caused to the bone marrow slows down the rise of these cells. In medical terms, bone marrow is described as aplastic. Several factors damage the bone marrow and slow down the production of blood cells. These include:
Hemolytic Anemia
Hemolytic disorder is known as the disorder, where red blood cells keep on destroying at a faster pace than can be made. This destruction of blood cells is called hemolysis.
