1. Can have children
Hemolytic anemia can result from various causes. If the condition is caused by external factors—such as extensive burns, snake venom, medications, or infections—patients may have children after full clinical recovery.
2. Should not have children
If both partners have thalassemia, a type of hemolytic anemia with genetic predisposition, it is not recommended to have children. The resulting child will typically inherit hemolytic anemia, as the disease has a very high inheritance probability. Even if the baby is born, there may be congenital malformations or other physical abnormalities. It is advisable to follow physician guidance when planning for pregnancy. Patients may take medications such as prednisone acetate tablets or ifosfamide for injection as directed by their doctor.
If patients experience any discomfort, they should promptly seek medical care at a hospital to avoid delays in treatment.
