Talk to experienced doctor online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Even if you are consuming balanced diet adequate in iron, you can still suffer with iron deficiency anemia. This may be because of impaired absorption and chronic blood loss.
Could you please help me get answers below questions?
• Are you pure vegan/vegetarian by diet?
• Have you ever tested for thyroid?
• Are you suffering with any chronic illness or infection?
• Do you frequently suffer with diarrhoea or loose stools?
• Do you suffer with heavy menstrual bleeding?
• How many days your periods last?
Next Steps
Consume iron-rich foods, and have them alongside vitamin C foods e.g. such as amla, oranges, Guavas, bell peppers, strawberries, and broccoli, which will help you absorb the iron (and other nutrients) in your meal.
You would require a careful history taking through physical examination and appropriate laboratory investigation like full blood count along with peripheral blood film, red cell indices and iron profile (if not already tested).
