Research Progress on the Clinical Treatment of Iron Deficiency Anemia in Pregnancy by Combining Chinese and Western Medicine

Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is a relatively common nutritional disorder during pregnancy, which can cause immediate and long-term adverse effects on the mother, fetus, and neonate. It is a key factor leading to adverse maternal pregnancy outcomes and adverse fetal and neonatal outcomes. Therefore, active, effective, and standardized treatment of IDA is crucial for pregnant women. In this article, we summarize the latest clinical research progress on the treatment of iron-deficiency anemia during pregnancy using traditional Chinese medicine, Western medicine, and the combination of Chinese and Western medicine over the years, with the aim of providing a reference for clinical diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.
