The main reason behind anemia is lack of iron in our body and the primary symptoms of anemia are fatigue and weakness. Weakness and fatigue manifest themselves when the red platelets in our body don’t carry adequate iron to the muscles. Absence of iron also adversely affects different parts of our body like tongue and fingernails. In case that there is pro longed inadequacy of iron in our body, our tongue becomes swollen and sore. Usually with iron deficiency, people experience cracks on the sides of their mouths which can be entirely painful. Iron deficiency causes our nails to grow abnormally and they wind up getting a spoon-like shape.

Treatments may incorporate dietary changes or medicines, supplements, blood transfusion, procedures or surgery to correct internal bleeding. Treatments and medications incorporate supplements, for example, anti-microbials to treat infections, iron, hormones to treat heavy menstrual bleeding, erythropoietin to empower the body to make more red platelets, medicines to keep the body’s immune system from annihilating its own red platelets, and chelation.
