I have attached my blood report. The report includes the remark, Alert, Predominantly normocytic normochromic with ovalocytes. Platelets appear adequate in smear. I also have a family history of thyroid issues and am currently taking medication for it. Could you please explain what these findings mean and if there is any cause for concern?

Hello Doctor, I have attached my report for your review. I am 33 years old, and the doctor has mentioned surgery as a possible treatment option, including the removal of my uterus and ovaries. If my uterus and ovaries are removed, will there be any long term health issues? Will it affect my life expectancy?
