Introduction
You wake up drained, feel dizzy during the day, and your hair seems to be falling more than usual. If you’ve been feeling constantly tired for no clear reason, it could be more than stress. Urban Indian women are increasingly facing a hidden but serious issue — anemia. It often goes undiagnosed until symptoms become alarming.
A simple CBC test at home can reveal a lot more than you think.
Q1: What is anemia and how does it affect your body?
Anemia is a condition where your body doesn’t have enough healthy red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen to your tissues. This results in symptoms like fatigue, weakness, pale skin, and shortness of breath.
Left untreated, it can cause serious complications like heart issues and poor immunity.
Q2: Why are urban women more prone to anemia today?
Lifestyle plays a big role. Many women in Bangalore and other metro cities skip meals, follow fad diets, and face heavy menstrual cycles. Add stress and poor nutrition, and anemia becomes almost inevitable. Even post-pregnancy recovery often goes without necessary blood tests.
Q3: How does a CBC test help in detecting anemia?
A CBC (Complete Blood Count) test measures:
- Hemoglobin levels
- Red & white blood cell count
- Platelet count
It helps detect:
✅ Iron-deficiency anemia
✅ Vitamin B12 or folic acid deficiency
✅ Signs of infections or other conditions
Q4: When should you consider taking a CBC test?
You should book a CBC test at home if you experience:
- Persistent tiredness or fatigue
- Pale skin, hair fall, or brittle nails
- Dizziness or light-headedness
- Heavy periods or irregular cycles
- Recent childbirth or recovery from illness
