What Is Hypochromasia +1 And +2 And How To Treat It?
In this article, I am going to discuss with you all about Hypochromasia including the causes, symptoms and how to treat it. As the name indicates, the word Hypochromasia is made up of two conjoined words.; Hypo and Chroma. Hypo means deficiency while Chroma means color. When the two words are joined, they end up bringing the name ‘’color deficiency’’. It is a condition in which more than half of the cell’s diameter or even the central pallor region increases. The condition is usually brought about by theiron deficiency in the body which ends up altering the production of Hemoglobin.
Hypochromasia +1 and +2
As we have already established, the word Hypochromasia means that the red blood cells lack their red coloring and for this reason, they are pale in color. Hypochromasia is usually classified in several levels which are coded as 1+, 2+ and 3+. Hypochromasia +1 means that the lack of red coloring matter on red blood cells is in minimal amount. Hypochromasia +1 is usually caused by iron deficiency. What am trying to mean is that if all the other levels were normal then the condition may be easily managedbecause it may as well be a normal variation. Hypochromasia 2+ means that the condition is advanced and can be caused by several other things.
Causes of Hypochromasia
There are several causes of Hypochromasia but the most common are listed below:
- Iron Deficiency in the body
- Poisoning especially lead poisoning
- Excessive blood loss maybe in case of an injury or Leukemia.
- Deficiency of Vitamin B6.
- Ulcers
- Piles
- Gastric bleeding
- Hermoloids and Gene Mutations.
Symptoms of Hypochromasia
Following are some of the common symptoms:
- Pale skin
- Fatigue
- Tiredness
- Sore Mouth
- Disturbance in menstrual cycle
- Sleep disturbance
Treatment of Hypochromasia
You can go for the following treatment options:
- Take Carbonyl iron-If the results shows that the condition is due to lack of iron in the body, then you are supposed to take carbonyl iron.
- Take Vitamin B6 Cyanocobalamin, Epoetin Beta-methoxyPolyethlene glycol and Darbepoetinalfa. If it is caused by vitamin B6 deficiency, then you are required to take Vitamin B6 Cyanocobalamin. You can as well take Epoetin Beta-methoxyPolyethlene glycol and Darbepoetinalfa.
- Go for Cina-If you are pretty sure that this condition is caused by a parasitic infection, then you can go for a special Homeopathic treatment called Cina. This is very effective in treating this.
- Avoid Blood loss- As we have already established, it can as well be caused by blood loss. For this reason you should change the lifestyle and avoid any instance that could lead to blood loss. When a lot of blood is lost i.e. through an accident, try as much to ensure that you live a healthy life to recover it soon.
Closing!
