Thal is a term often associated with the Thalassemia, a genetic blood disorder that affects the production of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells responsible for carrying oxygen. Individuals with thalassemia may experience anemia, fatigue, and other health complications due to the reduced ability of their blood to transport oxygen effectively. There are different types of thalassemia, including alpha thalassemia and beta thalassemia, which are classified based on which part of the hemoglobin molecule is affected. Treatment options vary and may include blood transfusions, iron chelation therapy, and in some cases, bone marrow transplants to manage the condition and improve quality of life.
