Anaemia Treatment in Johor Bahru

Anemia

Anaemia — characterised by insufficient healthy red blood cells — is widespread in Malaysia, particularly among women of childbearing age, pregnant women, and vegetarians. Iron deficiency is the most common cause, but thalassemia trait (common in Southeast Asia) and B12 deficiency also contribute. Untreated anaemia causes persistent fatigue and can affect heart health.

Symptoms of Anaemia

Persistent tiredness and weakness
Pale skin, gums, and nail beds
Shortness of breath on mild exertion
Dizziness and lightheadedness
Rapid or irregular heartbeat
Cold hands and feet

⚠️ When to See a Doctor

See a doctor if you experience persistent fatigue that does not improve with rest, unusual paleness, shortness of breath during normal activities, or heart palpitations. Pregnant women should be screened early as anaemia affects both mother and baby.

Treatment at Klinik Muhibbah

Klinik Muhibbah diagnoses anaemia through a full blood count and iron studies. Treatment depends on the cause — iron supplementation for iron deficiency, B12 injections for deficiency, folic acid for folate deficiency, or referral for conditions like thalassemia. We monitor haemoglobin levels regularly during treatment.
