Addressing the program, Prof. Dr AK Dwivedi said that Sickle Cell Anemia is a genetic disorder of the blood caused due to abnormal hemoglobin. Sickle Cell Anemia is a genetic disorder. It is also a hereditary disorder. Sickle Cell anemia is a type of blood disorder in which Red Blood Cells turns into a C-shaped, sickle-shaped or crescent-shaped form. This reduces the ability of movement and to carry oxygen throughout the body and the amount of blood flow in the small vessels of our body. On the other hand, Sickle Cell is mainly of two types. In which one is Sickle Cell carrier (sickle trait) and the other is sickle holder (Sickle Cell Anemia). On the other hand, if we talk about this, then the life span of Sickle Cell red blood cells is only 10-20 days and the bone marrow would be not able to convert them fast enough, due to which the normal number of red blood cells in the body and amount of hemoglobin decreases.

If we talk about the symptoms of Sickle Cell disease, it usually appears around 6 to 8 months of age. And these vary from person to person and can change over the time. He said that in those districts where there are Sickle Cell Anemia patients are outnumbered, blood tests should be mandatory for everyone before marriage so that this disease can be prevented from progressing in future.

Its main symptoms include fatigue, weakness, irritability, anemia, urgency, bed-wetting, jaundice, swelling and pain in hands and feet, infection, chest pain, Lower- back pain, back pain, leg or arm pain etc. Apart from this, the problem of AVN (Avascular necrosis) is also seen in Sickle Cell Anemia patient, homeopathic medicine is very effective, even in those patients. The patient can suffer lot of problems in cold weather. Therefore, its effect can be reduced with the right information and wearing the right clothes. One should keep himself warm in cold weather and at night. For this, the patient should completely abandon AC and cooler, as well as not to swim in cold water. Apart from this, in the patient of Sickle Cell Anemia, there could be lack of oxygen saturation.

He said that patients should avoid taking too much of iron. If there is a deficiency of hemoglobin in Sickle Cell patient, then some home remedies can be suggested to increase Hemoglobin. Hemoglobin can be increased by consuming pomegranate, beet root, fenugreek, tomatoes, legumes, dates, nuts, all cereals, milk-curd and cheese and gourd soup, banana, meat, fish, eggs.
