Why do they draw so much blood for a blood test?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am Chaithra, and I have been suffering from severe pain in my uterine region due to an infection for the past 3 weeks. For the last week, I have been unable to walk or sit properly. I consulted a gynecologist a week ago (prescription and blood report attached), but the medication did not seem to work, and I have not experienced any relief after completing the course. I am seeking a second opinion. Thank you in advance.

My wife complains that she breathes heavily if she walks a few meters, runs, lifts heavy weight or does housework like floor cleaning. Her blood report shows haemoglobin 11.3 and blood sugar is normal. What steps should I take in this situation?
