What are the Treatment Options for Sickle Cell Anemia?
While there is no universal cure for sickle cell anemia, treatments can help manage symptoms and reduce complications. These include pain management, hydration, blood transfusions, and medications such as hydroxyurea to reduce the frequency of pain crises. In some cases, a bone marrow or stem cell transplant may offer a potential cure, though this option carries significant risks and is not suitable for all patients.
