Thalassemia major and minor

2024-01-10 16:00:37
After my boyfriend’s routine check-ups, we learned that he has thalassemia minor, and his hemoglobin is 9. The doctor informed us that if I am also thalassemia minor, we may face challenges in having babies in the future. I don’t know my hemoglobin level, but the last time I checked, around six months ago, it was 11. We are planning to get married soon, but this issue is causing me distress. If I’m not a minor, could we have babies? Is it safe to marry someone with thalassemia minor? I want to marry him and we planned about family, I also have hypothyroidism but levels are under control from past few years.

Rather  then going in distress get your HB electrophoresis done If you are thalassemia minor You can definitely have babies but 25% chances are that the baby would be thalassemia major if your HB electrophoresis is normal there would be no issues The chances are the offspring can be thalassemia minor
