Brief Answer: Followup Detailed Answer: thank you for sending the question. Reviewing your blood results indicate that you have a mild anemia. This anemia is also normocytic. most common cause of this type of picture is blood loss from heavy menstruation. I would expect that this might be the case for you. It would be reasonable for your doctor to check your iron levels as well. thanks again for the query. please let me know if you have additional followup concerns. dr g

Brief Answer: Followup Detailed Answer: thank you for sending the question. I think it is important that your doctor checks your iron level. It is possible that iron is deficient in your diet. I am supplementation might help to improve your blood count. You are not dangerously anemic but I think this is definitely something that is worth discussing with your doctor. Dr. G
