Polycythemia Vera
Polycythemia vera is a chronic bone marrow disorder in which the body produces too many red blood cells, making the blood thicker than normal.
Which specialist treats it? It falls to the hematologist, the doctor who focuses on diseases of the blood and bone marrow, to identify and follow this condition.
Possible manifestations: Some people report headache, dizziness, reddening of the skin, itching especially after bathing, or discomfort in the hands and feet.
When is a checkup advisable? If a routine blood test shows elevated red blood cell counts or if these symptoms recur, it is worth having a hematologist evaluate it calmly and advise on the next steps.
