Anemia blood test?!
Question:
Anemia blood test?
Hello, I had a blood test done to determine if I had anemia...I was wondering what would be some indications for the doctor to have me take a blood test for this? I'm a healthy female in my 20's..Thanks!
Answers:
It may be just a screening thing...young women tend to get anemic because we lose blood every month. Also, those of us in our 20s dont always eat the best of diets and so may not be getting the iron we need. If you have been tired, are a vegetarian, or have frequent or heavy periods then these would be indications for an anemia test, but screening is also very possible. Good luck!
