What is a good anemia treatment?

Answer 1

Anemia or iron deficiency can be cured by eating foods high in iron (leafy greens especially spinach are great, other green veggies are good as well but spinach is the highest in iron). Also, if you have been diagnosed as anemic by a doctor they will often prescribe iron supplements.

Sickle cell anemia however cannot be cured, only treated.

Answer 2

Many doctors treat anemia with supplements that contain the ferrous form of iron. However, no one here knows your medical history, and there are different types of anemia that require different types of treatment. A doctor must diagnose the underlining cause before a treatment can be prescribed. Never take anything without a doctors recommendation. What can work for one individual, can be dangerous for another. Always consult a physician first.

Answer 3

Increasing the intake of iron. This can be either through improving the diet to include more iron-rich food, or through taking iron tablets. Also, if the cause of anemia is thought to be linked to heavy menstruation, a contraceptive pill may be advised to try and make the blood loss through periods lighter.
