Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.  You should go for ultrasound abdomen once.  Many times cause of low iron is chronic blood loss.  So investigate for the cause.  Take iron rich food like beggary, dates, green leafy vegetables, Chat Doctor.  You can take oral or injectable iron therapy. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
