My hemoglobin is low, and I am experiencing heavy menstrual bleeding. My gynecologist has suggested removing the uterus. Could you please advise if this is the only option, or if there are alternative treatments to manage heavy bleeding and improve hemoglobin levels?

Heavy bleeding with low hemoglobin can cause anemia and fatigue. Uterus removal is not the only option unless severe fibroids/polyps exist. Try iron therapy and hormone based treatments first. Get a CBC, Pelvic USG, and Iron Studies to reassess.

Hello doctor, my husband blood test report shows monocytes at 11 percent. Could you please explain what this means? What could be the reason for it, and what steps should I take next? I am really worried.

My blood test report shows ESR 36 and monocytes 0. I do not have fever, chills, or burning urination, but I do have back pain. Is having 0 monocytes normal, and can it be harmful for my body?

I am having recurring mouth ulcers and my blood report shows serum iron as 60 ug per dl. Can this be the cause of the ulcers?
