Brief Answer:
Hello. You require evaluation
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. I have gone through the details. So iron deficiency at your age warrants stool examination and colonoscopy and upper endoscopy to look for the cause. Likely cause include tumor and vascular telanguectasia.
Please discuss this with your physician and revert back.
Thanks and regards

Mny thanks doctor. A colonoscopy exam has now been set for mid November. I will suggest a stool examination to my doctor, and make a reference to upper endoscopy. Kind regards.
