Some people are particularly afraid of developing megaloblastic anemia during pregnancy, so they want to go to the hospital for examination. However, when they hear about these symptoms for the first time, they do not know how to examine them in order to understand their anemia symptoms and feel very worried. How to check for megaloblastic anemia during pregnancy?
1. Blood test. If you suspect that you have megaloblastic anemia, you can go to the hospital for a video examination to understand the composition of cells, including red blood cells, platelets, neutrophils, etc., which can determine whether there are symptoms of anemia. Normally, if cellular anemia occurs, neutrophils may increase, with 5 or 6 lobes and normal red blood cell count.
2. Bone marrow image. If symptoms of megaloblastic anemia are caused, it may lead to bone marrow hyperplasia, increased activity, and significant changes in the number of red blood cells. Various types of cells will also exhibit megaloblastic changes, especially red pigment cells, which will become increasingly apparent. On the other hand, nuclear cytoplasmic development is not particularly balanced, and there may even be granular condensation, with obvious rod-shaped nuclear granulocytes.
3. Blood test: draw blood. Megaloblastic anemia may be caused by a deficiency of certain iron or zinc elements, and blood sample testing can actually reveal the levels of various substances in the blood. If symptoms of iron or other element deficiency are found, there may be megaloblastic anemia.
