Hello, I understand your concern. Your hemoglobin is normal (14 g/dl), but your iron levels are low (48) and gradually decreasing for the last 3 years. This means that your iron stores in the body are low, even though your blood count looks normal. If this continues, later on, it can lead to iron deficiency anemia. 👉 Possible reasons for low iron: Diet lacking in iron (less meat, green leafy vegetables, legumes). Slow blood loss from stomach, intestines, or urine. Absorption issues in the gut (such as gastritis, celiac disease, or chronic gut problems). --- ✅ What you should do now: 1. Diet: Eat more iron-rich foods: green leafy vegetables (spinach, methi), legumes, jaggery, dates, red meat, eggs, fish. Take foods rich in Vitamin C (orange, lemon, amla) along with meals – this improves iron absorption. Reduce tea/coffee around meals, as they reduce iron absorption. 2. Investigations: Get serum ferritin, TIBC, and iron profile tested. Rule out any hidden bleeding: stool test for occult blood, urine test, and if needed, endoscopy/colonoscopy. 3. Treatment: If confirmed, doctor may start you on oral iron supplements (like ferrous sulfate/ferrous ascorbate) for 3–6 months. Dose and duration should be guided by your physician after reports. --- ⚠️ Important: Since iron has been dropping for 3 years, you should not ignore this. Please consult a physician or gastroenterologist to find out the cause and start treatment early.
