Everything About Anaemia In Hindi

Forever Health and Lactation Clinic Team — Sun, 25 Feb 2024 10:03:40 +0000

All About Anaemia In Hindi

(एनीमिया के बारे में सब कुछ हिंदी में)

By Dr. Mayuresh Umalkar

यह पोस्ट में डॉक्टर मयूरेश आपको एनीमिया (Anaemia in hindi) के बारे में बताएँगे. डॉ मयूरेश के १४+ साल का अनुभव में उन्होंने काफी सारे एनीमिया के मरीजों का उपचार किया है. इस पोस्ट में डॉ मयूरेश आपको एनीमिया के लक्षण, कारन और उपचार के बारे में सारी जानकारी देंगे. तो चलिए आगे पढ़ते है.

एनीमिया क्या है (What is Anaemia in hindi)?

एनीमिया एक स्थिति है जिसमें बॉडी के अंदर की स्वस्थ लाल रक्त कोशिकाएं (RBCs) कम हो जाती हैं. यह कोशिकाए एक ऐसे प्रोटीन है जो हेमोग्लोबिन को बॉडी में प्रसारित करती है.

हीमोग्लोबिन का काम बॉडी में ऑक्सीजन का प्रसारण करने के लिए होता है. और अगर ये हीमोग्लोबिन ही कम हो गया तो बॉडी के हर हिस्से में ऑक्सीजन पूरी तरीके से नहीं पहुँच पायेगा.

इसकी वजह से शरीर की ऊर्जा सप्लाई कम हो जाती है और थकावट, कमजोरी लगने लगती है.

एनीमिया किस कारण से होता है (What are causes of Anaemia in hindi) ?

शरीर में आयरन की कमी और विटामिन की कमी महिलाओं में एनीमिया के सामान्य कारण है.

आयरन की कमी से होनेवाले एनीमिया के क्या लक्षण है ? (What are symptoms of Iron deficiency Anaemia ?)

आयरन की कमी से होनेवाले एनीमिया के लक्षण कुछ इस प्रकार है –

थकान
कमजोरी
पीली त्वचा
हार्ट रेट बढ़ना
सांस लेने में कठिनाई
सिरदर्द, चक्कर आना
जीभ की व्यथा
नाज़ुक नाखून
अपर्याप्त भूख

आयरन की कमी से होनेवाले एनीमिया के क्या कारण होते है ? (What are causes of Iron deficiency Anaemia in hindi?)

आयरन की कमी से होनेवाले एनीमिया के लक्षण कुछ इस प्रकार है –

खून की कमी (उदा. Heavy Loss of blood in MC)
अपर्याप्त आयरन का सेवन
अपर्याप्त लौह अवशोषण
गर्भावस्था

आयरन से भरपूर खाद्य पदार्थ कौन से हैं? (What are foods rich in Iron?)

आयरन की कमी से होनेवाले एनीमिया के लक्षण कुछ इस प्रकार है –

गहरे हरे रंग की पत्तेदार सब्जियाँ
सूखा मेवा (जैसे किशमिश और खुबानी)
Beans
मटर
Sea Food, पोल्ट्री रेड मीट, Pork

आहार में आयरन अवशोषण कैसे बढ़ाएं? (How to improve Iron absorption?)

जब आप उच्च लौह आहार लेते हैं, तो ऐसे आहार पदार्थों को खाएं जो विटामिन सी से भरपूर हैं. विटामिन सी आहार में लौह के संश्लेषण में मदद करता है.

विटामिन सी आहार से लौह को अच्छे से अवशोषित करने में मदद कर सकता है और शारीरिक स्वास्थ्य को बढ़ावा दे सकता है.

विटामिन सी से भरपूर खाद्य पदार्थ कौन से हैं? (What are foods rich in Vitamic C?)

ब्रोकोली
अंगूर
कीवी
Leafy Greens Melons
खरबूजे
संतरे
खट्टे स्ट्रॉबेरी
टेंजेरीन
टमाटर

आयरन की कमी से होने वाले एनीमिया के और क्या गंभीर परिणाम हो सकते है ?

Mild एनीमिया से कोई परेशानी नहीं होती. लेकिन अगर इसका इलाज न किया जाए तो यह घातक हो सकता है.

हृदय विफलता
गर्भावस्था के दौरान समस्या
विकास की समस्या

आयरन की कमी से होने वाले एनीमिया से heart rate तेज हो जाती है क्योंकि जब आप एनीमिक होते हैं तो आपके रक्त में ऑक्सीजन की कमी की भरपाई के लिए हृदय को अधिक रक्त पंप करना पड़ता है.

आयरन की कमी से होने वाले एनीमिया का इलाज? (What are treatments of Iron deficiency Anaemia in hindi?)

आयरन और विटामिन सी से भरपूर खाद्य पदार्थ खाएं
Oral Iron Supplement
गंभीर एनीमिया में आयरन इंजेक्शन

Thyroid – Causes, Symptoms and Treatment

Dr. Mayuresh Umalkar — Sat, 10 Feb 2024 03:54:05 +0000

Thyroid - Causes, Symptoms and Treatment

Know about Thyroid dysfunction, its causes and Treatment from the best Diabetes an d Best General Physician Doctor in Pimpri Chinchwad

By Dr. Mayuresh Umalkar

In this post, Dr. Mayuresh explains Thyroid disease, Symptoms of Thyroid malfunction, and its Treatment. Dr. Mayuresh is the best Thyroid doctor in Pimpri Chinchwad with over 14+ Years of Experience in treating 50000+ patients so far. So, let’s get started.

What is Thyroid Disease ?

Thyroid disease refers to a group of conditions that affect the Thyroid gland, a small butterfly-shaped gland located in the neck.

The thyroid plays a crucial role in regulating various bodily functions by producing hormones that control metabolism. Common thyroid disorders include hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid), hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid).

What is Hypothyroidism?

Hypothyroidism is common disease in which there is inadequate production of Thyroid hormones, T3 and T4 hormones which are produced by the Thyroid gland which is a small butterfly-shaped gland situated in front of the neck.

What are the functions of Thyroid hormones ?

Thyroid hormones mainly regulate the metabolism in our body.
It maintains the Basal Metabolic Rate, which is a process that involves transferring the food we eat to its conversion into energy.

To maintain the growth of the body
To maintain the heart rate
To maintain the body temperature
Skin and bone growth and many more functions.

What are the causes of Hypothyroidism?

Inadequate Iodine Intake
Increased demand for Thyroid hormones
Inadequate production of Thyroid hormones
Autoimmune Thyroid diseases like Hashimoto thyroiditis

What are the signs and symptoms of Hypothyroidism?

Physical and mental inactivity
Fatigue weakness
Weight gain
Decreased appetite
Cold intolerance
Dry Skin
Hair loss
Muscle and joint pain
Sleepiness/ Depression
Menstrual irregularities Infertility

What are Red flag signs in Hypothyroidism?

Increase in size of Gland
Difficulty in Breathing
Difficulty in swallowing
Hoarseness of voice
Sudden weight gain / weight loss

What are the tests required to Diagnose hypothyroidism?

Blood level of T3 T4 and TSH ( Thyroid stimulating hormone )

How my Thyroid Medicine will work?

Thyroid Medication contains Thyroxine hormone. The Thyroxine hormone in the medicine will get absorbed from the stomach to the blood and it functions as a Thyroxine hormone. This hormone will maintain the normal feedback loop mechanism.

Why Thyroid Medicine should be taken early morning 30 minutes to 1 hour before breakfast?

Thyroid medication should be taken empty stomach because when we take tea/coffee/breakfast, the absorption of Thyroid tablets in the stomach may be decreased in the presence of Calcium, Iron, and Food.

So, to maintain the effectiveness of Thyroid tablets its always prescribed to take this medicine early morning on an empty stomach.

What happens if I miss my Thyroid tablet?

Don’t worry when you notice you have missed your dose. Take it as soon as possible.

If too much time has passed just skip that dose and take next dose in morning.

What are the side-effects of Thyroxine tablet ?

Heat intolerance
Diarrhea
Increased heart rate

Why does swelling/Goitre appear in the neck?

When there are decreased levels of T3 and T4 hormones, the production of TSH hormone is stimulated by the brain.

TSH hormones stimulate the growth of the Thyroid gland and when it’s associated with inadequate intake or decreased availability of Iodine in the diet, only the Thyroid gland grows in size and the production of T3 T4 hormones remains the same.

What are the Compression symptoms of thyroid gland swelling?

When the Thyroid gland increases in size, it causes compression on nearby structures.

Difficulty in breathing due to Compression on the trachea ( Breathing tube )
Difficulty in swallowing due to Compression on the esophagus ( Food pipe)
Hoarseness of voice due to compression of recurrent laryngeal nerve
Venous engorgement in the neck due to blood vessel compression

These symptoms are Red flag signs and should be shown to a Thyroid specialist doctor immediately.

I don't have any signs and symptoms of Hypothyroidism then why my TSH is high?

The level of T3 T4 and TSH hormones in the Blood are regulated by a feedback loop mechanism.

When there is decreased production of T3 T4 hormones in the Thyroid gland then decreased levels of T3 T4 send signals to the brain ( to the hypothalamus a part of the brain ).

This will in-turn stimulate the pituitary gland to secret the TSH hormone (Thyroid-stimulating hormone ) which will signal the Thyroid gland to increase the production of T3 T4 hormone.

When T3 T4 hormones are in abundance then TSH production automatically decreases via feedback loop mechanism.

Can my Thyroid tablet be stopped completly?

When the T3 T4 and TSH levels are normal for a longer time then a dose of the Thyroid tablet can be reduced slowly.

With continuous monitoring of T3 T4 TSH levels Thyroid tablet can be stopped providing Euthyoid status is maintained.
