I was diagnosed with anemia. What is the treatment for anemia?
1 Answer
The treatment for anemia depends on the cause. Anemia is the term for a low red blood cell count, and there are may causes for this, so the most important question is, "Why are you anemic?". Did you lose blood from an injury, surgery, heavy periods? Are you deficient in iron or vitamin B12? A top doc will get a thorough history, do a physical and then order the appropriate blood tests to determine the treatment, which is ultimately determined by the cause.
