(Black PR Wire) September marks National Sickle Cell Awareness Month, a time to come together to raise awareness about sickle cell disease (SCD) and dispel the myths and stigma often associated with it. SCD is a group of inherited red blood cell disorders that affects millions of people worldwide. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 100,000 people in the United States lives with SCD, with over 90% being non-Hispanic Black or African American, and an estimated 3%–9% being Hispanic or Latino.
Living with SCD can be challenging, but many people lead high high-quality lives by taking proactive steps to manage the disease and reduce the risk of complications. Here are some essential tips for those living with SCD:
- Get regular checkups with their doctor.
- Follow the treatments prescribed by your doctor.
- Prevent infections by taking simple steps, such as washing your hands.
- Practice healthy habits like drinking plenty of water and eating a well- balanced diet.
For more information on preventing and treating SCD complications, please visit the CDC’s website at cdc.gov/sickle-cell/about/prevention-and-treatment.html.
