Can Sunbed Help To Increase Red Blood Cell Count?
hello,
can a sunbeds help to increase red blood cell count. I have chronic anemia which is not responding to increased doses of iron and the Doctors put this down to Heavy periods and would like me to seriously consider ablation. However,I can not get them to understand that they are not heavy. I heard short regular sessions on a sunbed can increased red blood cells and hopefully increase the iron absorbtion as I will have more cells for it to bond to.

No its not like that. First of all you should investigate properly for the cause of anemia. iron deficiency is not the only cause you might have any other cause only.so go for ps examination. s iron and ferritin level. tibc and other test vit B 12 level.etc. hirst reach to the cause and then take treatment accordingly.
