Suggest Treatment For Heavy Breakthrough Bleeding While Having Anemia

Posted on Mon, 11 Jul 2016

Question: I was experiencing very heavy breakthrough bleeding and it caused anemia. My dr stopped the bleeding quickly w progesterone treatment and the birth control pill. My question is: now that the bleeding has stopped how long to recover from anemia?

Answered by Dr. Deepti Verma (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
6-8 weeks

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
The recovery of anemia will depend upon the the severity of the anemia.
If the haemoglobin levels are less than 9, then you should take iron tablet twice a day, and take high protein diet. It may take 6-8 weeks to recover.
Hope you found the answer helpful.

I know that I am not supposed to have grapefruit juice when taking seroquel. The biotin chews I bought instead of pills contain citric acid. Is this to be avoided?

Answered by Dr. Deepti Verma (6 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Should be avoided

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, citric acid is added to chews to increase its flavour. In this situation, these should be avoided.
