It is often said that "women's eighteen changes". When girls reach puberty, they not only grow tall and become more and more handsome, but also become easy to get sick because they do not adapt to drastic physiological changes. In addition, some girls do not pay attention to nutrition and exercise. They are most prone to anemia.
[physiological changes]
This also starts with the drastic physiological changes in girls' adolescence. Adolescence is the peak period of girls' physical development. Their metabolism is vigorous. The demand for protein, sugar, fat, vitamins, minerals and some trace elements increases sharply, especially protein, vitamins and some trace elements. We can compare the body to a building and the cells that make up the body to bricks and tiles. Protein and so on are the raw materials for making "bricks and tiles", and can only be obtained from diet. Due to the needs of adolescent development, the demand for these raw materials is great. If the building is slightly short of nutrients, it will affect the normal proportion of raw materials.
[psychological changes]
It is during this period that great psychological changes have taken place in girls, who often pursue body beauty. Some girls consciously limit their diet and intake of protein and fat in order to prevent their body from getting fat, so there is a "shortage of raw materials", which affects the construction period of the building, slows down their body growth, and worsens their physical quality, so that they are easy to get sick.
During this period, the most sensitive organ to protein deficiency is hematopoietic organ. Bone marrow needs a lot of protein, vitamin B12, folic acid, iron, zinc and other trace elements in the process of hematopoiesis, as well as a lot of energy (ATP). Originally, puberty is in greater demand than any other period. If you restrict your diet, you are more likely to have anemia.
[endocrine changes]
Another major cause of anemia in adolescence is severe endocrine changes: while the secondary sexual sign is plump, girls have menstruation (big aunt). Menstruation loses a lot of blood and requires bone marrow to work harder. For bone marrow, it is difficult to fully adapt to the sudden doubling of workload. Moreover, during this period, it is not easy to "complete the task" and produce anemia because the blind "weight loss" limits the supply of protein, vitamin B12, folic acid, iron and zinc.
In addition, for a long time after menarche, due to the imbalance of pituitary ovarian function, follicle stimulating hormone and estrogen are more than lutein, resulting in excessive proliferation of endometrium. Once the levels of follicle stimulating hormone and estrogen decrease, the intima is stripped off, resulting in massive bleeding. Some people even happen twice a month. This kind of functional uterine bleeding is a major cause of anemia in some people during puberty.
Girls are prone to anemia in adolescence, which should be paid great attention to. They should pay attention to supplement nutrition, do not "lose weight" for no reason, strengthen exercise at the same time, and accelerate the mediation of endocrine balance under the guidance of doctors, with a view to normal menstruation. In addition, blood tonifying drugs should be used to strengthen the hematopoietic function of bone marrow; Replenish blood if necessary. Anemia can be cured quickly.
