6 in 10 Indian Women Have Anaemia | Are You One of Them? | Doctor Warns

Описание: Have you been feeling tired for months, needing more chai to function, breathless on stairs, losing more hair than usual, but your haemoglobin report says “normal”? In this video, we explain why that might not be the full story.

In this video, Dr. Archana VK from Practo addresses various questions on how iron deficiency and anaemia are not the same stage of disease. You’ll learn why ferritin (your iron store) often drops long before haemoglobin does, and why millions of Indian women are told they are “fine” while running on empty.

You’ll also understand:
• The difference between iron deficiency and anaemia
• Why haemoglobin alone is not enough
• What ferritin actually measures
• Early signs of low iron that feel like “just life”
• How heavy periods contribute to iron loss
• Why chai with meals reduces iron absorption by up to 64%
• The connection between iron deficiency and hair loss
• Why iron is critical during pregnancy
• When to test B12 and thyroid along with iron

Anaemia does not always feel like a disease. It feels like exhaustion becoming your personality. If your haemoglobin was checked but ferritin wasn’t, you do not have the full picture yet.

If you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, have heavy periods, unexplained hair fall, or chronic fatigue, this is not the time to guess. Early testing changes outcomes, especially for brain development in babies and long-term health in women.

You can consult a verified physician or gynecologist on Practo for personalised guidance and the right investigations.
