Megaloblastic Anemia

Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy

Megaloblastic anemia is a type of anemia in which the bone marrow produces red blood cells that are larger than normal and in smaller quantity, which reduces the blood's capacity to carry oxygen. It is usually related to a lack of certain vitamins.

Symptoms that may be noticed: tiredness, weakness, paleness, shortness of breath and, at times, tingling or changes in the tongue.

When to see a doctor? In the face of persistent fatigue or unexplained paleness, an evaluation with blood tests is advisable.

Which specialist treats it? The hematologist is the professional who studies and follows up on megaloblastic anemia. If you have symptoms like those mentioned, consulting in time makes it possible to identify the cause and guide the most appropriate care.
