Folate Deficiency Anemia treatment in Mexicali

Folate deficiency anemia is a decrease in healthy red blood cells that occurs when the body does not have enough folic acid, a vitamin needed to make and mature these cells.

Common symptoms: Fatigue, weakness, paleness, shortness of breath on exertion and, at times, discomfort in the mouth or tongue.

Common causes: It is usually related to a diet low in folate, an increased need such as during pregnancy, or difficulties absorbing this vitamin.

Which specialist treats it? The hematologist studies anemias and helps identify the specific cause behind the condition. If you notice unexplained fatigue or persistent paleness, it is a good idea to have a professional review your situation and guide you.
