Normally, these cells circulate in the bloodstream for about 120 days before being naturally removed and replaced.<\/p>\n<p>When this process speeds up, the body cannot produce enough new red blood cells to maintain normal levels. The result is reduced oxygen delivery throughout the body, which may cause fatigue, shortness of breath, and other health concerns.<\/p>\n<p>Understanding the symptoms, causes, diagnosis, and treatment options for this condition is important for early detection and proper management.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_74 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey

Normally, these cells circulate in the bloodstream for about 120 days before being naturally removed and replaced. When this process speeds up, the body cannot produce enough new red blood cells to maintain normal levels. The result is reduced oxygen delivery throughout the body, which may cause fatigue, shortness of breath, and other health concerns.
