Symptoms

What is Acute Posthemorrhagic Anemia?

Acute posthemorrhagic anemia occurs due to significant blood loss, leading to a rapid decline in red blood cells. This sudden loss reduces the body's ability to carry oxygen, causing fatigue, weakness, and other symptoms.

Common Causes of Acute Posthemorrhagic Anemia

  • Traumatic Injury: Severe injury or accident resulting in major blood loss.
  • Surgical Procedures: Some surgeries may involve significant blood loss.
  • Gastrointestinal Bleeding: Conditions like peptic ulcers, gastritis, or diverticular disease can cause internal bleeding in the GI tract.
  • Gynecological Causes: Heavy menstrual bleeding or childbirth complications can lead to acute blood loss.
  • Bleeding Disorders or Medications: Conditions like hemophilia or the use of anticoagulants increase the risk of bleeding.

When to Seek Medical Help?

Seek medical attention if you experience:

  • Sudden fatigue or weakness, especially after an injury or surgery
  • Rapid or irregular heartbeat
  • Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
  • Dizziness or fainting, particularly when standing
  • Pale skin or cold extremities
  • Blood in stools or vomit, or unusually heavy menstrual bleeding
