Hi there. Ive been having significant drops in my H&H. I dont have my print out with me, but I am reticing. My Iron saturation is 4. Im going to assume I have fibriods? Each month my CBC values have been declining. My question is
Based on your query my opinion is1. Yes, fibroid can cause a fall in hemoglobin values and parameters related to RBC.2. This is explained by the effect of sub mucosal fibroid which can cause increased bleeding, so blood loss results in decrease RBC counts and Hemoglobin.3. You need to get it removed if it is a large fibroid and sub mucosal in location.4. Transfusion requirements depend on how much your Hemoglobin is. If it's less than 7, you will require transfusion, if not it can be corrected by parenteral iron therapy. Hope this helpsRegards
