Answer 1

Anemia is the medical condition that she expected to have based on a given diagnosis.

Anemia is defined as a condition which is caused due to low erythrocyte count or red blood cells (RBCs).

Causes:

Protein present in RBC is hemoglobin that carries oxygen throughout your body. Thus, if hemoglobin is low level of oxygen is decreased, and body has to work hard and therefore becomes tired.

Women are at risk of anemia because blood loss is more from their periods and more demands of blood supply during pregnancy.

Therefore, anemia is caused by blood loss or decreased production of red blood cells. It can also be caused by red blood cells destruction.
