PCV 33.5 and Hemoglobin 11.6 show mild anemia. RBC 3.90 is normal, no urgent issue. May be due to low iron or vitamin B12. Improve diet: include leafy greens, dates, jaggery. Do Iron Profile and Vitamin B12 Test.

My wife, age 34, underwent pituitary tumor surgery 3 years ago. Her recent blood report shows Vitamin B12 is 927 pg/mL, hemoglobin is 10 g/dL, and PCV is 31 percent. She has been experiencing heavy gastric issues that do not subside even with medications like PPIs. Additionally, she has an enlarging fibroid. Her weight is 67 kg and blood pressure is 90/70 mmHg. Could you please advise how to reduce the heavy gas and manage her gastric discomfort effectively?
