Aplastic anaemia is rare but serious. Are you familiar with its symptoms, like extreme fatigue and easy bruising? Let's explore why knowing these signs is vital.

About

A rare, life-threatening condition, Aplastic Anaemia occurs when the body stops producing enough new blood cells, leaving the patient fatigued and more prone to infections and uncontrolled bleeding.

Signs and Symptoms

• Extreme fatigue
• Shortness of breath with exertion
• Pale skin and noticeable paleness of the gums
• Easy or prolonged bleeding and bruising

Treatment

Treatments may include blood transfusions to boost levels of blood cells, stem cell transplants to rebuild the bone marrow, and immunosuppressive medications.

Prevention

While there's no certain way to prevent Aplastic Anaemia, avoiding exposure to toxic chemicals like benzene, certain drugs, and radiation might reduce risk.
