Anemia Shown In The Blood Test. What Is The Treatment?
I am male 67 years old. My Heamoglobin is 124 g/l and my haematocrit is 0.38. I have had this level for years. I have had the bone marrow tested - nothing nasty. I don't smoke and the rest of my bloods are fine. My doctor has no suggestions. My thoughts are that slight anaemia slows you down. Whilst I am not agressively fighting the onset of old age I exercise regularly and would like to give myself every opportunity to lead a well existence for many years yet.

Hi
Thanks for using Health Care Magic Forum,
Anemia can be due to Impaired production of iron
Increased destruction
Loss of Blood
You are male with hb-124g/l is not to be worried as you will improve as on diet.
Worm infestation can also lead to decrease hemoglobin level.
Start on with tab.Albendazole once in 6 months. ( You can do a stool examination to look for ova or cyst of parasites)
Vitamin C aids in the body's ability to absorb iron, so taking oral iron supplements with orange juice is of benefit
Increase your food stuff containing green leafy vegetables
I Hope I Provided Useful Information. Do ask Furthur Questions to help You get well soon.
