It all depends on what of the many causes is responsible for the anemia.
No, anemia never go away completely or on its own. Everything has to do with the type of anemia and how it was acquired. For example, iron deficiency anemia due to blood loss or due to lack of nutrients, can be corrected by stopping the blood loss and eating food that are reach in iron. Diet: beans, dried fruits, eggs, lean red meat, salmon, iron-fortified bread and cereal, peas, tofu, dark green leafy vegetables (Spanish cucumber, broccoli) among others. Anemia due to hereditary conditions, the etiology (cause) factors of that condition needs to be assessed to find the right treatment. Severe anemia could be very serious. Loosing blood quickly can be fatal. The three main causes are red blood cell loss, lack of red blood production in the bone marrow or red cell destruction by the immune system. A hematologist would be a great choice. They will send the test to the laboratory for complete analysis by the pathologist. A complete work-up is appropriate to find the etiologic factor of the anemia. Please, consult your healthcare provider for a complete assessment of your condition. Thank you.
