Overview

Anemia
Anemia is a condition in which the body does not have enough healthy red blood cells or hemoglobin to carry adequate oxygen to tissues. This can result in fatigue, weakness, dizziness, pale skin, shortness of breath, and reduced physical performance. Anemia may be temporary or chronic and can range from mild to severe depending on the underlying cause.
Brain Tumor
A brain tumor is an abnormal growth of cells within the brain. Tumors may be benign or malignant and can affect brain function depending on their size and location.

Brain Tumor
Diagnosis involves neurological examination, MRI, CT scan, biopsy, and laboratory tests.

Prevention

Anemia
Consume a balanced diet rich in iron, folate, and vitamin B12. Treat underlying conditions promptly, attend regular health checkups, and seek medical evaluation for persistent fatigue or unexplained weakness.
Brain Tumor
Avoiding unnecessary radiation exposure and regular medical evaluation of neurological symptoms may aid early detection.

Risk Factors

Anemia
Risk factors include poor nutrition, pregnancy, chronic illness, heavy menstrual bleeding, advanced age, gastrointestinal disorders, and family history of blood disorders.
Brain Tumor
Family history, radiation exposure, and certain genetic syndromes increase risk.
