I have a lymphocyte percentage of 41.5, a total RBC count of 6.47, hemoglobin level of 18.6 g/dL, and a hematocrit (PCV) of 52.08 percent. All these values are above the reference range mentioned in the report. Should I be concerned about these results?

Your lymphocytes (41.5 percent) are mildly high, which may indicate a recent viral infection but is not alarming alone. RBC (6.47), Hemoglobin (18.6), and Hematocrit (52.08 percent) are high, which may indicate dehydration or polycythemia. Increase water intake and recheck after hydration. If persistently high, evaluation for polycythemia is needed, especially if you have headaches, dizziness, or redness. You can book a CBC repeat with Serum Erythropoietin level and Oxygen Saturation (SpO2) to assess further.

I took a Mankind abortion pill on April 2 and successfully terminated the pregnancy. However, since then, I have been experiencing heavy bleeding that has not stopped. My ultrasound, thyroid, and blood test reports are all normal, but the bleeding continues. I am very concerned about my health, especially because I want to have a baby in the future.
