My MCV is 79.1 (and I know that it is below the range 80) I would really appreciate if you could help me what is the problem and for the marriage is there any problem with this result?

29 years old, 179 cm height, 103 Kg weight, no special medical problem, I'm giving blood every 4 or 5 months, I drink tea often (4-5 glasses each day)

hi, your mcv value is almost near normal. MCV is the mean corpuscle volume. it indicate the average size of RBCs. so low mcv means that you have microcytic rbcs. it is seen in iron deficiency anemia, thalessamia minor etc. but you said that you are donating blood every 4 to 6 months that means your hb level is also normal and you dont have any abnormality. so just be relaxed, dont worry.its not a problem. and it will not creat any problem after marriage.
thanks for using health care magic.
