Hello Doctor, my reports consistently show normocytic, mildly hypochromic RBCs, and I am concerned about what this means. I am pregnant and currently taking iron supplements and bifolate tablets, yet the results have not changed. Does mildly hypochromic indicate anemia, and should I consider getting a thalassemia test done?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Mild hypochromia suggests low iron levels despite treatment. This can be common in pregnancy. A thalassemia screen is reasonable to rule out carrier status.

View allHello Doctor, my mother ultrasonography result showed a 3.7 cm cyst on the left ovary. The doctor prescribed Cystelia 35 for six months continuously. During the first month, she had side effects of abdominal pain, bloating, and excessive sleep each day. We reported this to the doctor, who gave only an iron tablet and said if we were worried, we could do a cancer blood test. Today, in the second month of taking Cystelia 35, my mother suddenly noticed red, raised, painful blisters that are spreading and very painful after itching. Doctor, please help. Could this be a side effect of Cystelia 35? My mother is in a lot of pain from the blisters. Please advise urgently.
