Is There Any Problem If I Marry A Thalassemia Trait Partner?
Hi My partner has thalassemia trait, and i was wondering if i am anemic or thalassemia. can i just ask my doctor or do i have to do a blood test. Because i am worried that if we get married and have a child our child may have to have a blood transfusion.

hi, first of all you should go for blood test for thalassemia. go for HB chromatography. if you are normal then there is no harm to marry a girl with thalassemai trait. but if you are also thalassemia trait then you should not marry that girl. because if both parants are thalassemia trait then there is chance of having baby with thalassemia major and required repeated blood transfusion. so go for hb chromatography and take decision accordingly.
