hi, my names rida i wanted to inquire about thalassemia, my husband has it minor but the problem is that he is facing a lot of weakness and is sort of scared of having sex , can you help me? i wanted to find out that having intercourse once or twice a weak is dangerous in any way for him or is it just his fear?secondly , he gets fever at times due to viral infections like sour throat and so on, what are the reasons ? i hope not because of thalassemia?
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Thallasemia minor is a very mild condition. It is most often asymptomatic, is associated with mild anemia and does not require blood transfusion. Thus, thalassemia minor does not interfere with normal activities of the person. Having sex will not affect the health of your husband and sex can be practiced safely. The other symptoms of sore throat, fever do not seem to be related with the thalassemia minor. These symptoms may be due to viral infection only. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
