Hello,

Thanks for posting your query.

Recurrent iron deficiency anemia which improves after treatment could be due to either constant iron loss from the body in the from of bleeding, intestinal worm infestation, poor nutritional intake, etc or due to poor synthesis of hemoglobin in the body due to bone marrow suppression.

Detailed investigations like blood and stool tests with bone marrow aspiration are needed to find out the cause and further treatment.

Here I would suggest you to have a high protein diet along with iron therapy that you are taking for a better response.

I really think that you should proceed for an evaluation at your hematologist's office. This will help rule out any worrisome problem which could cause you a significant degree of detriment.

Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.

Wishing you good health.

Regards.
