Cause of Anemia: Blood Loss Due to Surgery or Trauma
Advertisements

Significant blood loss resulting from surgery or trauma can lead to anemia, as the body struggles to replace the lost red blood cells quickly enough. In these situations, immediate medical intervention is often necessary to address the source of blood loss and manage anemia symptoms.

Treatment for anemia related to blood loss may include blood transfusions, iron supplementation, and supportive care. In some cases, medications to stimulate red blood cell production may be prescribed.

Proper wound care, monitoring of blood tests, and follow-up with healthcare providers are essential for managing anemia related to surgery or trauma. (15)
