Option 1 : All of the options

Hemochromatosis is a condition in which the body stores too much iron causing what is known as 'iron overload'.
In normal conditions, the intestines absorb the amount of iron from food that can be utilized by the body.
Hemochromatosis causes the body to absorb excess iron from food and water, which then gets stored in various organs of the body like liver, pancreas, heart and joints.
Symptoms:
- Pain in the joints
- Tiredness or weakness
- Darkening of skin colour
- Pain in the abdomen over liver
- Erectile dysfunction in men.
It can lead to liver cirrhosis and other diseases.
Without treatment the organs may even stop working.
It is usually treated by taking out a certain amount of blood from the body at regular intervals until the iron level becomes normal again.

Anaemia is the iron deficiency disorder caused due to insufficient amount of iron in the body.
Without iron, the body cannot produce sufficient haemoglobin, which is responsible for carrying oxygen in the body.
Thus, symptoms of anaemia can show tiredness and shortness of breath.
It can be treated with iron supplements and Vitamin C-enriched food.
