I recently found out that my ferritin levels are at 9.78 ngmL, which seems to be lower than the normal range. I'm a 41-year-old female and I'm starting to get worried. I'm considering consulting a hematologist for advice on safe iron supplements to help increase my levels. Are there any specific supplements or dietary changes I should consider? Is there cause for concern with levels this low?

View allI'm a bit puzzled about my platelet count; its consistently between 60,000 and 70,000. Honestly, I feel great, and Ive never had any illnesses like dengue or fever, and I dont take any medications. Im curious why my platelets would be below the minimum range if Im not experiencing any health issues. Could there be something else affecting it that I'm not aware of?
Low platelet count (60K-70K) can occur due to various reasons, even if you're feeling fine. It could be related to factors like genetics, mild immune issues, or your body's natural variation. It's always a good idea to consult a healthcare provider for a thorough check-up to rule out any underlying causes.

I'm a bit concerned because my platelet count is at 1.24cumm, which I believe is lower than the normal 1.50cumm range, but then I see my total platelet count shows 1.51cumm. I've also noticed some rashes appearing on my palms. Could you advise me on how I could increase my platelet count and if there's any medication I should consider?
The best treatment for removing stones from the liver, specifically the gallbladder, usually involves surgery. There are two main types of surgery: *Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy* and *Open Cholecystectomy* . - *Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy*: This is a minimally invasive procedure where a surgeon uses a laparoscope to remove the gallbladder. This method is usually performed on an outpatient basis, and you can return to normal physical activity within a week . - *Open Cholecystectomy*: This traditional method involves making a larger incision in the abdomen to remove the gallbladder. This approach is typically used for more complex cases or when the gallbladder is severely inflamed . It's essential to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the best course of treatment for your specific condition. They may also recommend other treatments, such as medications to dissolve the stones, but surgery is often the most effective solution .
