Question: Has anyone ever heard of the human body producing too much blood!?
My mother-in-law says that her body produces too much blood and every month she has to go and have the extra blood removed, Has anyone ever heard of this!? I'm not saying she is lying I just don't really understand what she means by this!. When I ask what this is called she just says that she has too much blood!. Hopefully someone can help me understand this!. ThanksWww@Answer-Health@Com

This disorder is called polycythemia!. It can cause other health problems such as respiratory problems (shortness of breath), headache, dizziness, fatigue and weakness!. The procedure for this is called therapeutic phlebotomy, similar procedure to donating blood except this blood cannot be re-used!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
