Low Hb suggests anemia, possibly iron deficiency. Rashes may relate to allergic or nutritional causes. Iron-rich diet and pediatrician evaluation needed.

Respected doctors, my doctors said I have haemorrhoid and want to do an operation. I am attaching my report. Please help me.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Does the below test report indicate any potential problems during pregnancy? My haemoglobin and RBC count are lower than normal, while the WBC count is higher than the normal range. Additionally, the urine test shows a trace amount of sugar. I would like to know if these values being outside the normal range could cause any complications during pregnancy.
