What is "aplastic anemia"?

Aplastic anemia is a rare condition where the body stops producing enough new blood cells. It occurs when the bone marrow, which is responsible for making blood cells, is damaged or fails to function properly. As a result, individuals with aplastic anemia may experience symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, pale skin, and frequent infections. In serious cases, it can lead to life-threatening complications such as bleeding and an increased risk of infections. Treatment for aplastic anemia may involve blood transfusions to replace the missing blood cells, medications to stimulate the production of blood cells, and in some cases, bone marrow transplantation to replace damaged bone marrow with healthy cells.
