What are the Treatment Options for Hemochromatosis?
The primary treatment for hemochromatosis is phlebotomy, a procedure that removes blood from the body to reduce iron levels. Regular phlebotomy sessions can help prevent organ damage and reduce the risk of developing cancer. In some cases, chelation therapy may be used to bind and remove excess iron from the body. Lifestyle changes, such as avoiding alcohol and iron supplements, can also help manage iron levels.
