10. Treatment Varies
Treatment plans for anemia vary based on the root cause of the issue. Direct treatment usually includes supplementing the missing nutrients through injections or pills. Usually, a doctor suggests that patients take iron, B12 or folic acid supplements.
If a comorbid disorder is to blame for the anemia, a doctor also treats the other condition. People who receive an anemia diagnosis are monitored by their doctor through routine blood tests until their blood levels are in a normal range.
