Sickle cell anemia is a genetic disease. There is nothing you can do after you're born to reduce the risk.
Children with sickle cell anemia may have delayed growth and reach puberty at a later age than normal

You can prevent sickle cell disease by theres no way you can but if you have sickle cell disease you can get blood transfusions to stop most of the pain becasue you can get new blood cells instead of moon like shaped cells and then you will have easier blood flow and no pain because it wont clog anymore.
A normal homozygous individual can't produce offspring with sickle cell anemia. Both parents must carry the trait to have an offspring with the illness.
Sickle cell anemia is an autosomal recessive disorder. It can result from two carriers having a child together.
Sickle-cell anemia is a genetic disorder, so you can only get it by being born with it. Sickle-cell anemia is much more prevalent in people of African descent because of its evolutionary advantage in regions where malaria is common. While having sickle-cell anemia is clearly detrimental to survival, having only one allele (instead of both) of the gene coding for sickle-cell anemia results in higher tolerance to the effects of malaria once infected with it. The greater number of people having only one allele leads to greater chance of their offspring having both, resulting in sickle-cell disease.
If a person does not carry the Sickle cell trait and they marry some one with the trait. The child that comes from that relationship can never have sickle cell disease, however that child has a chance of having the sickle trait.
A child has to receive the gene from both parents to heve sickle cell anemia. if only one parent passes on the gene, then the child will have sickle cell trait, but no symptoms of sickle cell anemia.

The pro of sickle cell hemoglobin is that if you have only one allele for sickle cell hemoglobin and the other allele is normal, then you are immune to malaria.
