Iron level is very low
Last week gone for regular health checkup by Thyrocare
In the report, the iron level is showing very low. The figure showing 21 which is very low compare with normal rànge which should be more than 60.
Is the matter serious? What should I take in food to increase the iron level?
Thanks a lot doctor for your comments.
Hi
Iron levels in a female may go low, because of
1. blood loss during periods
2. Lack of supplementary iron in your food
3. Ineffective assimilation of iron etc.
You can get it back by eating good, balanced food with lots of greens, beetroo (if you are not diabetic)
Drink milk
You can take iron supplements in the form of capsules or syrup.
Even after this, if the levels are low, consult
