SCD is a lifelong condition. The only way to fully cure it is through a bone marrow transplant. Otherwise, it can be managed through a variety of treatments. Primarily, these treatments center around reducing the likelihood of infection and managing pain.
There are several medications approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that help to lower the chance of developing anemia and improve blood flow to the organs. Blood transfusions are also commonly used to treat certain complications with SCD. Talk with your doctor about a treatment plan that's right for you.
