Iron Deficiency Anaemia
Iron deficiency anaemia occurs when the body lacks sufficient iron to produce adequate haemoglobin. Symptoms include fatigue, breathlessness, and pale skin. Diagnosis involves blood tests checking haemoglobin and iron levels. Treatment typically includes iron supplements and dietary changes. Severe cases might require intravenous iron or blood transfusions.
