My wife is pregnant for 8 weeks. She had anemia and now her hb is 9. Doc asked her to take Ferinject for iron. Can we do it at this point of time?

Hello there. I can understand your concern. Yes, that's how anemia is corrected. She can take injection and she will have to take a high protein diet. This way her hemoglobin will improve gradually. You must realise that hemoglobin requires iron and protein. Best regards. Dr. Anil Kumar Jain. Bangalore.
