Anemia is a condition in which the blood does not have enough healthy red blood cells.
Anemia results from a lack of red blood cells or dysfunctional red blood cells in the body. This leads to reduced oxygen flow to the body's organs.

Here’s all the different types of Anemia:
1. Aplastic anemia
2.Hemolytic anemia
3.Iron-deficiency anemia(most common)
4.Sickle cell anemia
5.Anemia of chronic disease
6.Thalassemia
7.Pernicious anemia
8.Sideroblastic anemia
9.Megaloblastic anemia

All of these could potentially end deadly if left untreated and if you get any of them then you should contact a medical specialist immediately

Answer:

There are three major types of anemia. Placed according to the size of the red blood cells: If the red blood cells are smaller than normal, this is called microcytic anemia. The major causes of this type are iron deficiency (low level iron) anemia and thalassemia (inherited disorders of hemoglobin).
