At Real Results Medical & Aesthetics in Tempe, AZ, we specialize in therapeutic phlebotomy to help manage and treat conditions caused by excess iron or red blood cells, such as hemochromatosis and polycythemia vera. This simple, safe procedure involves the controlled removal of blood to reduce the overload of iron or blood cells, improving your overall well-being and relieving symptoms like fatigue, joint pain, and weakness.
Our experienced specialists provide personalized care to ensure patients receive the optimal treatment plan for their specific needs.
Therapeutic phlebotomy is a safe medical procedure involving removing a specific volume of blood to help regulate iron levels or red blood cell count. It is typically used for patients with conditions such as:
- Hemochromatosis: A genetic disorder leading to excess iron buildup in the body.
- Polycythemia Vera: A condition causing the production of too many red blood cells.
Regular therapeutic phlebotomy can help reduce the symptoms of these conditions, such as fatigue, joint pain, and abdominal discomfort, and improve your quality of life.
During the procedure, a small amount of blood will be safely drawn from your body, similar to a standard blood donation. We will closely assess your vital signs throughout the procedure to ensure your safety and comfort.
Therapeutic phlebotomy is recommended for patients who:
- Have been diagnosed with hemochromatosis or polycythemia vera
- Experience symptoms of iron overload or excess red blood cells, such as fatigue, joint pain, or headaches
- Are looking for a proactive, long-term solution to control their condition and improve their quality of life
